I just started thinking about it. Why is space exploration even that necessary? They're spending so much money on it when we have so much problems in our own planet..

The spending on space exploration isn't what is stopping us on satisfying the basic needs of everyone. It's political will that stops us there. It's the fact that our governments do not see their populations as their priority. They see their corporations as their priority.
