Whatsapp is certainly more useful to humanity than space exploration.

  Are you being sarcastic?

    No, I truly believe that having a way for everyone to communicate for free, privately, and anywhere is just so great. This level of communication enables so many possibilities for people that couldn't been done so simply oterhwise. I live in Hong Kong and do not know a single person not using whatsapp. It helps everyone. Although I'm a huge fan of space exploration as well, I still think letting people to communicate easily is more valuable for our day to day lives.

      Oh OK, I see what you mean now. > No, I truly believe that having a way for everyone to communicate for free, privately, and anywhere is just so great. I agree with that, but whatsapp isn't a new way of communicating - in the sense that it's not a new protocol like the phone or internet. While it's convenient it's not revolutionary and I am sure that Hong Kongers would be using something else. Also you don't know what space exploration could bring yo your everyday life (probably we could build new stuff from materials not available on Earth or that are very rare...).

        You're absolutely right on both points :)
