A short list 1. Enough energy to be gathered via Helium- 3 to never have to worry about oil or alternatives energies ever again. 2. A way to make room for an increasingly large human population 3. Access to new materials and elements that will help advance human technology. And at what cost? Nasa's budget used to be a about 1/100 of the millitaries budget, and about 1/120 of what we spend on worthless social services. We could have tripled NASAs budget and it wouldn't have made a dent in our annual budget. Instead we halved it. The victim of a government that doesn't want to control itself. |
why increase human population,let it grow and fall at its own pace
also helium and other materials will be avaialble but in the short term leading to that,will you want to sacrifice that much
its like saying USA spends billions to go to MOON,huge crowds watch the first few landings.after that they realise that it was just for show and it has no significance at that point in time as you have to live happily also not just blow all your resources and then ask what now
nasa budget is small or high amount,till the time it doesn't have immediate returns to the soceity in any form then its useless.only a small amount should be used for NASA
