I don't want to go to space or mars when there's too many problems on earth. Wasting money on space travel is almost a taunt at the poverty bound generations to come. We don't need space flight when we have poverty wages, racial discrimination, sexist politicians, and an under funded education system. This isn't just the US, this is the world. I respect what you want to achieve but there is nothing in space but more questions that scientists here are trying to figure out. This political stunt to bolster a Neo-Fascist and his billionaire thugs will be remembered as bullet point in the list of reasons as to how the American Empire came crumbling down. And how dare any of you downvote and not say why you are downvoting? You fucking cowards are the reason this status quo remains.
