Science doesn't always have immediate payoffs, that's not a reason not to do it. NASA has an extremely modest budget compared to other areas (military especially). Instead of griping about peaceful space exploration we should fix that military waste first and then see where we're at.

@contrasocial @greenman @DeeLux_Fiat @angusm I might add that we still are working on fossil fuels when renewable energy is now completly viable in a million different ways. In USA this is more evident when you look at the extensions of corn fields used purely for methane extraction, by law, instead of modernizing the concept to solar panels. Screaming to the air for such a minor (yet cool) thing seems pointless. Burn a weapons factory if you're in USA, that's more productive.
