But sure, if you ask me I would much rather have a hundred billion dollars spent on cleaning Earth from pollution and developing clean sources of energy, like some nuclear power. And that's how it is with space programs - whenever there is some program to explore space people react to how there are hungry people to feed.
Maybe they could have given $50 billion to New Yorkers and Angelenos to pay part of their growing rents, but that would never happen because GOP would crucify Biden.
How many homeless people is a landing on Mars going to shelter?
