Re: interstellar overdrive

I feel the real waste of money is in the trillions spent on the military in general and nuclear arms race in particular. That money is not just wasted, but spent on something actively harmful to the human race. Those are the resouces that need to be diverted elsewhere.

If this money wasn't going on space exploration, it certainly wouldn't be spent on solving world hunger or curing cancer, it would probably go into another area of the military. The point is, not having the space programme would not make the USA any more liberal or likely to help others.

I hope that by exploring the solar system, problems on our own planet may be brought into focus and differences set aside.
