Big fan of the space program. I think it's one of mankind's ways of pushing the envelope, and it needs to be done with as much help as possible IMO.
Part of the growth of our civilization as a whole.
There will always be "bigger" problems.
Cutting the space program certainly won't fix the economy, poverty, political partisanship, war, famine or any of the dozens of other maladies people can think of to place on a pedestal above NASA.
Many people may think what becomes of it is useless, but they have been saying that about just about every sign of progress since the beginning of humankind.
Big picture thinking may not help "you" right now..........but it will help many 25, 50, 100, 150 years down the road that may never even realize the consequences of what we do today.
