Whoever makes this statement is an idiot
Why? [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_spin-off_technologies]Well educate yourself[/url] on all of the technolgies that we use that have originated from space exploration and NASA.
You see, there's alot of it. Hell you could just google it and you'll find alot of things.
This is why NASA should be funded, because not only do we explore space and other planets, because the technologies also benefit the general society.

But not when we need money for other More important programs. I love astronomy as much as the next guy but you need to realize that "exploring" space isnt more important than life here on earth...
