Space Exploration is a Waste of Money.
We have people starving in many countries, overpopulation, an energy crisis, cancer that needs curing, why are we blowing away billions for something that we have barely gained from?

[/quote] Except if its that rare it would be uselss because no one woud want to fuel their device with it because ti would be so expensive. nations wouldnt even buy it[/quote]There would be a demand for it because it has properties that something we already have doesn't. If there was an alternative that was cheaper, the demand would go down, and the supply would go up.

If it's in the median of all this it would be economically productive and scientifically beneficial.

Uhhh... Just so you know... Most of the technology we have today was created out of the desire many had to venture into space years ago.

Spending money on the space program stimulates the economy also. NASA needs to buy materials/parts/ and fuel from other companies in order to do what it does. This is a perfect example of government spending to help the economy.

One other thing of note. Money spent "on space" doesn't go to something outside of the Earth. The money spent goes to people and companies here on Earth who are interested and compete with each other to not only develop new and better space technologies, but to use those advances in commercial markets. There isn't a Mars economy where these "space monies" went and we never see it back. Where did and does that money go? It goes to people who work for it, buy houses, pay bills, drive cars, put their kids through college, and so on. It's not money that is evaporating, it is money that pays people. Who then use that money to live and to be a part of the world economy.
