By virtue of not pursuing something that doesn't efficiently get basic necessities to everyone, I don't need evidence as you're doing the work for me. Great, but they could have added more if they abandoned space altogether and used all those billions on aid. There is quite literally no point in wasting money on manned interplanetary missions. It's futile because we can't move at light speed, so even if we did find something it'd prompt an "oh, ok, cool" and everyone would move on. And we'd still have slavery and poverty and starvation.
