NASA Space Exploration

I have been thinking about this for a really long time, and want to know what you guys think. Space exploration costs millions of dollers each year, with the price of all the gasoline needed to fuel each shuttle launch and other equipment in the International Space Station. Do you think that we should stop funding for space eploration and use that money for something else like paying off the US debt?

If we give up our campaigns to explore past our planet, I feel that we may never reinstitute NASA or other space programs. Human beings have historically always been very curious explorers, migrating throughout every region of the globe. We may over populate, and the theory that in thousands of years human beings will need to colonize the moon or another planet to support the population is a little bogus but may be completely possible. Also, space informs us a lot about science that we originally never understood. But it is very dangerous to explore tspace. Objects traveling at speeds exceeding 50k miles per hour are always whizzing around damaging space crafts. Also, radiation and other high speed traveling substances penetrate astronauts nearly every manned mission in space. Manned missions are very dangerous and an emphasis on unmanned missions should be the future of space exploration. As for our unrenewable resource of space rocket fuel, a new renewable type of fuel should be developed to propell rockets out of earths gravitational field. It is easy to "speed up" objects in space with zero gravity. In the future, we may be able to manipulate space and time, making propelling objects via combustion a "transportational practice" of the past. If we can bend space and time, we can transport our selves from point a to point b MUCH quicker and cost effective.
If we give up space exploration, we give up the future of humanity.

In my opinion, the manned space exploration program is absolutely worth the cost. It’s not just about what we learn out there in space, or about ourselves, or how to be a better steward of precious Earth. It’s about how we live here on Earth together and what type of future we want for ourselves and children.

I think they have realised the same as you - no more space shuttle!

I think there's a balance to be struck here definitely. How much do we really get back for the money that's spent on space exploration.
I say "we", but in reality I think it's US taxpayers who have mainly been footing the bill.
As far as I'm aware, the UK does get involved in European space operations, but I must admit that I don't know the exact funding details.

NASA Space Exploration worth the cost. We have seen how scientific research consistently leaves a trail of useful technology in its wake. Space exploration is the most productive of all the sciences. The settlement of space would benefit all of humanity by opening a new frontier, energizing our society and providing resources for the growth of the human race without wrecking the Earth.
