Lets face it we are at a cossroads. Our population is growing exponentially, our technology is pacing with us. Our planet cannot sustain people and nature successfully without one giving way. I'd make the argument that spending money on technology to improve our well being with things like,
Better plants, better growing techniques, safer drugs, more sustainable energy, cheaper housing, better schools and space travel technology.
Improving all of those will help us take the next step as humanity and thats towords the moon.
