Do we need to spend billions of $$ just to explore the 'uncertain' ???
Why don't human just play their part in taking care of d environment n make d Earth de best place to stay instead of finding other planet ??? |

QUOTE(kristal @ Jun 20 2009, 02:54 PM) Your shallow thinking make the world suffer. hey, i jz raise up a question for every1 to answer, doesn't mean that i hv shallow mind, so accusing othr ppl is what u call mature mind? mind ur words b4 u postI am glad that you are no where in the position of leadership of this country. if nobody cares to explore new knowledge, then the world will be the same place like 1000 years ago. If no investment was made to discover electricity, then you would still be living in the dark fighting the Mongols with your spears. space investment is not for your immediate benefits. it is for all humanity in the future. say, if alien species invades earth, where would you go if you dont have spaceship technologies? human race needs to survive and we need to continue to invest in space technologies.  |

QUOTE(lin00b @ Jun 22 2009, 10:56 PM) in 2006, USA have a defence budget of USD985billion compared to USD1158billion for the ENTIRE WORLD. the second highest (UK) only have arond USD60billion. Of the countries that are not firm US allies, the highest defence budget is China with ~USD50billion. Compared with the average %GDP for defence of 2%, USA spends a total of more than 12% of its GDP for defence. thnx for de statistics In comparison, NASA's annual budget average to around USD8billion per year. or less than 1% of the US defence budget. so if you say its better to cut NASA spending to better citizen's life...... space exploration is expensive, but not as expensive as you think btw v dn compare NASA wif defence purpose, v compare NASA n de amount of ppl v cn help wif tat huge sum of $$ |
