And the result? There would still be the needy, they are a constant. But what about exploration? <br /> The result of the space program are advancements in metallurgy, chemistry and engineering. <br /> The result of "humanitarian programs"? more humanitarian programs needed. <br /> give me a space program with its research and discovery over the waste of humanitarianism any time. <br /> In the long run (I know, we don't want to think about that) the space program will benefit mankind far more than the week to week mentality of humanitarianism.<br /> Leave welfare to religion where it belongs.

give me a space program with its research and discovery over the waste of humanitarianism any time.
In the long run (I know, we don’t want to think about that) the space program will benefit mankind far more than the week to week mentality of humanitarianism.
Leave welfare to religion where it belongs.

By doing this you are giving hundreds of people jobs. What is better, a job, or a handout?<br /> <br /> Money is simply an "I owe U" note for doing a service. Not how much money you have, but how much money you have controlled can be used as a measure for your service to society. <br /> <br /> Who is greater, the man who gave the homeless man 5 dollars, or the man who gave the homeless man a job? Awww, no comment for me?

Who is greater, the man who gave the homeless man 5 dollars, or the man who gave the homeless man a job?

Mankind has much to learn about putting priorities before self and money. We know what is more important but leaders fail to properly prioritize because of greed, selfishness, and the love of money.

So many great minds are being wasted in playing with space instead of curing common diseases right here on earth.Man can fly to the mood, yet he can not cure the common cold. He can put an entire collection of books on a tiny computer chip, but he can not feed the hungry, and house the homeless. Where are man's priorities? I agree with your article.

They are the one’s who invest in small companies and give people jobs. Those people who work on space exploration make money and buy raw materials which help developing countries and increase wealth.
Nasa is getting ahead of the technology as fast as possible so that the wealth can come to our companies and not other countries simply because we tend to look for our family before we look for the guy that would rather invade than talk.
