I strongly disagree. Space exploration creates high tech jobs and high tech inventions which benefit all. Keeping skilled people in work is not a wast of money........Spending on some of the items listed below is a blatent wast of money.....

Before calling for the cost of space exploration to be spent on other things. Why not call for money not to be wasted on Cosmetics, Gambling, BB voting and such, Big gas guzzling cars, Football matches, Pop music DVD, Films and so and so on. All the above are trivia spending when you consider the starvation that goes on in the world. In the pop world a few get fithy rich at the expence of those who spend on trivia.

Now why do not those that spend on trivia suggest giving up their money wasting habits...

Space research is always an easy target when it comes to ethical spending when in fact you can be sure one day space research will save this planet.....
