    How about paying the government deficit that is about to default in a month so humans can habitat Earth first

    Because if man is to survive as a species, we must leave this planet. To leave this planet, we must advance the state of the art. To advance the state of the art, we must spend money on human space exploration/colonization.

    Deficits will never go away, and neither will the fact that the sun will eventually incinerate the earth.
