Question of the Week
Should we continue to funnel billions of dollars into space related things when that money could be possibly be used elsewhere?
Now, before you make your decision, consider the benefits we have reaped from the space program. The computer on which you read this blog, digital imaging for breast tissue analysis, storm warning devices (like Doppler RADAR) and on and on. There are many benefits to the space program, which has like all the wars we have had to fight, caused our technology to grow exponentialy.
Look here and then come back and give an answer to the Question of the week.

I think the rewards of space exploration is well worth the expense. If nothing else to know when that meteor is going to strike us.
Medical advances attributed to the space program, if for no other reason, shows how far space exploration has advanced us technologically. We should be pouring more money into it! I’m sorry Melissa, but I have to disagree with your thoughts on turning the space program over to private corporations…I don’t think that their interest would be a scientific one as much as a moneymaking one; Like taking rich people on joy rides.
