Space exploration contribution to humanity is insignificant another than to migrate to another planet. Anyway understanding more on celestial mechanism is more important because it allow us to operate satellite in one way more efficiently. At the end of the days, everyone is so busy making money and fixing their economy that space exploration is things we can do later.

Space exploration can wait.... till we solve every major issue which never end and it good because it mean more chance that your love one could be save by modern medicine if those resources aren't used to making space toys. Forget to mention most of us had give up hope in finding cure for cancers, HIV and any disease that had been research to death so maybe cutting space budget won't help save people life.

I just sayin.
