As much as I hope what you say is true, many government have other priorities then space exploration. Unless they find something very valuable (gold, diamonds)

As much as I hope what you say is true, many government have other priorities then space exploration. Unless they find something very valuable (gold, diamonds) I doubt the speed of space exploration will increase and even then, the cost of exploitation would be so high... In my lifetime, I hope they build a large telescope on the moon and that we can go back till the big bang... They would be enough for me :)
