Where's the positive news?

Billions of dollars wasted to get a piece of rock while millions of people around the world live in abject poverty? Even if there were any decent scientific progress made from this I'd have to question whether it was worth it. But I doubt there will be. Going to the moon is just for "bragging rights" and to me spending billions of dollars of tax payer money for "bragging rights" is a reprehensible thing to do.

Most scientifical achievements came from projects that had nothing to do with it (Example: Antibiotics).

Not to mention that, for the more applicable scientific projects to grow, they need data and progress done in every field. Space will be an essencial place for humanity to thrive in the not so long future.
