Lmao how stupid, technology and scientific inquiry has improved our lives immensely, it's lowering poverty rates, raising life expectancy, giving us good shelter and food in more abundance than ever before. Sure some money is spent on areas that are seemingly not benefiting us at the moment, but that is only for now, the space program may one day be an essential last resort for our species.
