The scientific returns have been enormous. I favor continuing robotic missions as they are most cost-effective. Manned missions require a lot of overhead for life support. A manned mission to an asteroid or Mars requires shielding from radiation which does not appear to be anywhere close to being ready for deployment.

Why bother spending all this money exploring space and finding out there was water on Mars at some point in the last few thousand years (we have water in Earth) when these same great minds could be applied to finding better ways to power humanity's insatiable desire for energy, to feeding the starving millions around the globe, and generally making life down here better before looking up into the heavens. It seems the authoritative powers have their heads way, way up in the clouds.

The needs of humanity should always come first. While there are people on Earth who need help, they should be helped, rather than seeing money spent on sending robots onto other planets. Humanity is the number one priority; keeping the human race alive is a necessity. Alternatively, space exploration is a desire. If we put our desires before our needs, then everyone loses out on a better standard of living.
Also, why take so much time and money to learn about Mars or any other planet, when we know so little about our own.

I understand what you mean but well, when a meteor hits earth all live here would probably die. That's why it's good to start learning about other planets so we can live on them as well. We should rather spend no money on militaire and put that into making the live on earth better and exploring space / finding new planets to live on. I know that it probably won't work but yeah.

NASA has stated we(humans) can't leave low Earth orbit, due to the van Allen radiation belt. Which means, to me at least, if we can't do it now, we've NEVER been able to. Especially back in the 60s and70s. So that smells like a lot of lying already. I don't even know if we as a species have any real clue as to what's above us. I believe however it is off limits to us for whatever reason our Creator has deemed. I believe if we're going to waste money exploring unknown areas, we should start with our oceans. However I believe the only justifiable reason for spending that kind of money is if it is being done to actually help our wonderful people here on this lovely planet. We're destroying this place, leaving people to starve and freeze in the streets, and so many other atrocities, and so many people WORSHIP nasa and the other space agencies. NASA alone gets 19 BILLION!!! dollars a year. Imagine if they took just a one year break.
HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD WE FEED WITH 19 BILLION DOLLARS? HOW MANY FRESH WATER WELLS COULD BE DUG? HOW MANY LIFES COULD BE SAVED?!?!
I get to thinking about this and I get frustrated. We've made it this far in our civilization without attempting to go into space, and all the while, we've been screwing off everything here. Now, we finally have technology to either fix our preexisting issues that we our selves have created, or go "play" Startrek. And because of the indoctrination in the schools and the brainwashing of our adult population through media and politics, we choose Startrek.😔

robhimself1 (49) · 6 years ago (edited)

If you want to actually learn how they solved the issue of traveling through the Van Allen belts you could read this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jillianscudder/2017/06/16/astroquizzical-van-allen-belts-barrier-spaceflight/#79443bb36f8d

The difficulty of the belts is the radiation given to the astronauts traveling through, so they aimed well to minimize the damage. They only received minor radiation.

If you want to learn some useful innovations created through NASA research there are countless pages on the subject, such as this one: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/infographics/infographic.view.php?id=11358

I do not think that exploring is bad, what I think is wrong is that they spend billions of dollars in space experiments and damage and pollute the waters of our planet, this is our home and I think we should take care of it more since it is the only planet suitable for human beings we will take care of it. There are many people going hungry and no one cares, what kind of humans are we?

Even better, finding a new planet for human kind to live in is invaluable.

aiskelzurita (48) · 6 years ago

hello this is my opinion
Should we spend billions on exploring space?
Already nations, especially developed nations, have made a large investment of their public budgets, aimed at outer space research, from there we can see how they send different teams as technicians, for space exploration. As to whether the question is directed to personal spending, it is always interesting to have the opportunity to know and have new scientific references, this investment can only be made by those who have the economic capacity to do so. But I believe that in each of the countries, developed or not, it is necessary to look at the people who need food, clothing, housing, education, transport and respect for human dignity, and to make major investments in them, since in my opinion it is not worth making major investments in space exploration, if there are people in the world dying of hunger.
Good or bad?
This will depend on the interest of governments and how much social investment is being lost, to invest in space exploration...

Is the knowledge we gain worth the money we spend?
If this knowledge first responds to your concerns and is beneficial to humanity, the money invested in it will be very well spent.
What are your thoughts?
As you can see from the above answers, I agree with this investment, provided that the priorities of human attention, the enjoyment of all rights for all and the pursuit of positive happiness are not neglected, and that this acquired knowledge is used to improve man's life.

Bunny Bunny Puncher Puncher, thanks for the prize!!!!!! I definitely think we should spend billions of dollars (if available) to explore and seek water and atmosphere ins space. I think that the new billionaires like Musk (maybe he wont be a billionaire for long....oops!) should push the way into looking for faster ways to travel.
For me mars would be just a small step to achieve, is the technology that would come from that exploration that is worth the billions.
I would gladly go to Mars, even if it was a big risk.
I believe that the only way to big progress is to achieve and overachieve impossible boundaries.

Anyway, thanks again Bunny Bunny Puncher Puncher @bunnypuncher !!!

You can not become rich just by relying on one stream of income. When you decide to become rich, you should be able to open opportunities and opportunities that can give you additional income. You never know not when one stream of your income will recede slowly?

Do not Be Enslaved By Your Own Money
Those are the real sides you need to reflect on money. You can not turn a blind eye to this reality. Allowing yourself to be overwhelmed with money is like giving your life to uncertainty. Money is not a living thing but its power to control humans is not small. Make sure that you are not enslaved by anyone but yourself. You have the right to make choices and make your own destiny.

This world presents a challenge for everyone who wants to survive to work and earn money so that with the money they can buy what is needed and desired in order to support his life. Competition in the world of work is not easy. Not infrequently of us feel difficulty even frustrated in working because of the demands of work and high rivals. Then after receiving a reward for our work, what do we do? We often spend a lot of money on our needs and desires. Is it a small business to raise money by spending less wisely.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can not do is ignore them. Because they changed things. They push mankind forward. And while some may see them as crazy people, we see them as geniuses. Because people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who really do it.

I think that it would be very interesting to continue exploring space because initially we would know more about it, and we would also be certain that life on another planet is possible, since there are some theories that contradict each other on this point, with respect to the money that has been used for these studies I would consider it an investment because many questions have been clarified in this regard, so I firmly believe that it is necessary to continue research because in the future it can be of great help to the human race.

I totally agree with what yhe petson above me said. Different people have different reasons for the “detest” of space exploration..
ON the FRINGE there are those who think it is all faked anyway, in studios, and that money is just wasted

ON the other FRINGE there are those who think ANY money spent on space should be spent on starving children, even though in the long run unless we do spend money on space to the point we can protect ourselves from a rogue planet killing asteroid impact, all those starving children WILL end up dying with our planet..

It can almost be said that money is the answer to the necessities of life. But remember that money is not the only thing that is perfect. Money can be even worse than we imagine. We can be a different person 180 degrees just because of money. Our need for money has the potential to make us an ambitious individual to continue working and raising money without understanding the nature of life and work. Often this ambition that tends to resemble this madness changes our personality and makes us not as ourselves in the eyes of others.

aulia10 (41) · 6 years ago

Be especially careful for those of you who work with orientation on money. Sometimes we can change his personality because of money. But on the other hand money can show our identity. Money can test who we really are. Be careful in using the money you earn. The wisdom of using money equals saving yourself from the difficulties that may occur in the future.

I think spending billions is a good thing, we better put money from militaire from all over the world in space to move forward as a species other than booming each other. I know this is nearly impossible but it can be. It's very important to start building live on other planets such as Mars cause when a meteor strikes earth all living will die. There are so many interesting things that we don't know anything about, traveling to other stars. We have to start somewhere. By the way, we should not spend billions but trillions, in the militaire industry there goes about two trillion around (http://www.globalissues.org/article/75/world-military-spending). We should explore our oceans as well, we don't know a lot about them and we're destroying the live there as well.

Although it seems ironical that a part of valuable resources are spent on space exploration, as a species, we are fundamentally obligated to find the answers to the great mysteries of our universe. We must invest time and money on technology to know what kind of places are surrounding our solar system to learn more about us and more importantly, to know if are we really alone in the universe. And yes, humankind will eventually go extinct like most of the species that lived on this planet if we don't take good care of our planet, but in order to learn how valuable life really is, in my opinion, the answer lies in the deep vastness of space exploration.

I think that if it's worth spending so much money to get more information about the things that surround our planet, since this can help us to prevent accidents with matter coming from space, it could help us to get materials that start to run out on the planet and also to help to understand more about why our planet is the only one in which until now life has been found.
