I disagree with the silly categories. I think space travel is awesome but boy would I put so many other things in front of it. I think it's silly to insist on gut emotional reactions like awesomeness agreeing with prudent decision-making. Of course I can't get as hyped about vaccinating children and stopping global warming as I can for space travel. Of course I would fund vaccines and global warming campaigns all day over space travel. That said, I think I'm in the camp of funding everything that matters to us at some level, while making sure that an urgent priority like global warming get's the lion's share, as much as we think can be put to use. The public can only get excited about two things at the same time, but we can spend money on a much larger set of things. I certainly hope, while the public conversation is focused on global issues like Covid and climate change, that we are also spending money on inspecting dams and levees. There is some right amount to spend on space travel, which is presumably much less than we should spend on global warming and public health and education.
