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..

We CAN do both. They might contribute to each other.

But what we can definitely fucking all agree is that spending all of our money on weapons in an effort to kill each other over which colour clothes Santa is wearing is pretty dumb.
