Good for NASA.
15The moon is a dead place. We have a living earth. Why are we spending money on space when our home is literally on fire and burning. Let's make our home a great place to live.
-35NASA generates over $70 billion in economic output and supports nearly 340,000 jobs in the US. https://www.nasa.gov/specials/value-of-nasa/
For every dollar put into NASA, it reportedly puts up to $21 back into the economy. https://www.inverse.com/article/39318-nasa-budget-contribute-to-the-us-economy
NASA is the rare government program that is a huge net benefit for society. It's helping us here on Earth, right now.
12I hope you realize that many innovations we use today on Earth is thanks to innovations created for space exploration. It's unfortunate that many don't seem think be able to see that.
11Why not do both?
11Compared to the astronomical wealth waste that the US gives up each year alone, not even counting the military budget, NASA consistently brings a 7:1 profit ratio while also providing some of the most important critical science used to create clean energy.
So NASA going to the moon really does help beautify our planet, so much more than most of the other shit we waste money on.
