Earth doesn't.[/quote]Earth has enough resources to support a human population greater than what it is now.[/quote] [url=http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/gfn/page/world_footprint/]Lol.[/url][/quote] "This means investing in technology and infrastructure that will allow us to operate in a resource-constrained world." [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] nuchy HA! Are you joking? We have gained so much from the space race between the US and Soviet Russia, its crazy! My teacher has shown me the list before but there are literally hundreds of things we developed from the space race. Some of them being Velcro, Safer car designs, better computer processing, and ways to make airplanes go faster. [/quote] Of course, you'd get those things much more easily and cheaply by investing in them directly. [quote]Space Exploration is not a waste of money, less than one percent of Americas budget goes into it. [/quote] Maybe that's because it's a waste of money. [quote]You know what 70% goes into? Bombs to blow up people with. Yeah that's not at all a waste of money. [/quote] Probs. Doesn't change anything, though, friend. [quote]OP is ignorant.[/quote] Seems kind of ignorant to assume that the OP's American or only talking about the US, too, but whatever.[/quote] Well I would assume the OP is talking about America because America has the leading space program. Also, if you think that building bombs to blow each other up with isn't a waste of money compared to learning about the universe in which we live, then you are an ignorant twat.
