Do we want to be a planet that is always focused on its social problems? Or one that is exploring...growing....expanding it's technological horizons. It is the age old argument, one side says: " We need to help ourselves first before we spend all that money on exploration ". My side says: Bottom line, there will always be another social program to create, there will always be the poor, there will always be the sick. This does not mean we stop the advancement of man kind. You can not make the weak stronger, by weakening the strong. Do not get me wrong, we need programs to help ourselves, there must be a balance to it.
