To da Moon Alice!! To da Moon!

[Howie Feltersnatch]

I would rather have guaranteed health care for my future kids than spend the money collecting space dirt.

while guaranteed healthcare is something I also agree we need, space exploration is more than just finding space dirt. we can potentially find new resources to use. At the very least we will have major advancements in robotics that may help aid people with different handicaps.

When going to the moon all we are doing is furthering our space rock collection. As far as furthering robotics for handicapped folks we can do that just as easily with our feet planted on Earth and without spending all the extra cash/fuel to send a couple of monkies into space
