Is Space Exploration Worth the Cost?

When I was looking back in the year, I remembered a topic my Senior Aerospace Science Instructor brought up in ROTC about space exploration. He asked us if we thought further exploration of space was worth the large amounts of money and time we put into it. I would like to hear responses from the rest of you about the topic. Keep in mind this is about further exploration, not about the stuff we've already done such as satellites and all that.

  • Right now it definitely isn't. People need to get their priorities straight. Space exploration is something that should come after a stable civilization on your home planet. It's not like when people explored the seas when they settled down. Space exploration is expensive, takes a lot of time, and is very risky.
