HI friends, We know that now a days NASA is sending Space shuttles and space probes into deep space and even sending people into space and building space station in the sky. What is the aim of all these experiments. Is it really useful to the mankind by sending shuttles to space. Or is it a waste of money. USA can spend that amount to help poor people in poor countries who do not have enough food or clothing etc., Let us discuss about this topic. any member can respond to this discussion.

I think it's the only hope for mankind. We are using up the Earth at an ever increasing rate. Soon there will not be enough resources to maintain any kind of comfortable lifestyle. And to paraphrase my favourite author, Robert Heinlein, when interstellar space travel becomes possible, the Earth will die because all the smart people will leave.
