Do you have concrete examples of research that could be conducted if the money were invested into "space science"? I doubt that it would improve the speed of progress by much - ESA already has a budget of close to €8bn, and the increase in speed of progress is rarely linear in respect to investments, unless some necessary threshold is reached. I'm not saying that no such examples exist, but I need concrete examples. Possible new research for the FCC is pretty well defined, meeting similar requirements should be easy if there really are so many better places to invest the money.
