Space exploration isn’t wasteful. Letting the worst of humanity do it their way for all the wrong reasons is wasteful.

“That money could be spent on real problems here!” We solve real problems here via science and engineering, both of which are advanced by space exploration.

Nobody is starving because we have a space program. People are starving because we have billionaires.

yes, poverty exists because of rich CEOs and their unhinged greed.
CEOs of banks too... they're even more unhinged.
