Internal problems always will be. By this logic we should cancel almost all pure research projects.

- fjabre 17y agoHow do you figure? If anything space exploration is research intensive. We have done a lot of research in space and even on the ground before we got there. I'm curious as to what you mean by pure research.
- jibiki 17y agoI don't understand your comment. You're saying that certain research should take priority over solving internal problems, but space exploration shouldn't...? Why?

- billswift 17y agoHumans in space efforts have nothing to do with research. They are now purely national prestige efforts. And I am extremely pro-space, I just don't think current efforts are doing ANYTHING AT ALL about getting us there permanently.
- fjabre 17y agoI'm saying that it should be more of a priority amongst the general public. I didn't say it should take priority over other forms of research. =)
- joezydeco 17y agoFrom a UN Report: "More than 700 million Indians, or roughly two-thirds of the population, do not have adequate sanitation. Largely for lack of clean water, 2.1 million children under the age of 5 die each year" My point is: shouldn't a country like India put their research and money toward solving THESE problems instead of putting a man on Mars?
