Here we go so look away now humpty...
Why are the Americans and others obsessed with this grotesque waste of money.
Ive been alive and seen Yuri be the first man in space, Armstrong and his chums get to moon first and now Pluto photographed in detail.
Ive heard the argument as to how it helps us broaden our understanding of the universe and, frankly,believe it utterly irrelevant for most people as they traverse their lives on this planet.
The billions spent, has always been grotesque, now more so .
It beggars belief as to what better uses the money effort and time could be spent on.

Exploration of this planets and beyond is what the human race us all about.
If we (all the countries that participated) hadn't ever explored the moon and other worlds we'd still be reading the Daily Sketch to find out how the Swans got on yesterday. |  |

Its not Starks.
Its about looking after this planet, the one we re left with, the one we re looking after.
A fundamental difference in opinion and GOD Bless you. | |

I'm going to stick my neck out here and go for.... Both.
Let's look after this planet and go where no man has gone before!
On the pollution angle... We're a damn site cleaner than we were in the mid century with all that chimney smoke from our coal fires.
I can't fix Africa I'm afraid, I'm too busy trying to get my head around Greece. | |

Well, having been told om on another planet, I can tell you it's pretty shite here.
Pollution? Have a word with the Chinese, Indians etc.
Fair play, Starks, you re class  | |

This site is called planet Swans.
China must a huge gap in their ozone layer the rate they're running their polluting factories.

Why are you paying every monrh to use the Internet, surely you could live without it, do you have tv , why pay for that.
Why do swansea pay millions for players then tens of thousands to them each week, not necessary and of no benefit to mankind.
The money spent on football alone, let alone othe sports too, dwarfs that spent on space.
Then there's celebrity culture, makeup, fancy restaurants, all unnecessary.
Space is an easy target for simple individuals |  | | |

Most estimates show space exploration returns a $ profit of 8:1 - pretty good financial sense.
We have gained knowledge and expanded frontiers of human existence and all in a little over 50 years.
If we closed the benefits of space exploration the world would be an incredibly different place - maybe for the better but probably not as technologies developed along the way have been exploited to improve the lives of billions.
In future we will be able to capture and harvest rare and useful minerals from comets, extending our life on earth and making the investment seem like peanuts in comparison. | |

'peanuts in comparison'
And it is. Harvesting comets, which will happen in time, will be worth $trillions upon $trillions.
No one was being patronised for holding a different perspective.
How are we to take your, 'Incredible stuff' comment? Which actually does appear to be patronising. | |

I saw a documentary on Space travel the other day, all the women aliens were all really easy, sexy and gagging for it. The Captain was just shagging his way around the galaxy. It's definitely in our interests to explore these strange new worlds and if possible bring these women back to Neath. |  |

Anyone who thinks space exploration is simply to visit planets and send photos to earth or taking joy rides to the moon, for the waste of finance has a very thin grasp of science.
Sure we want to know whats around us so we send probes. But those probes are also gathering soil samples and monitoring how the forces we experience on earth are effecting other planetary bodies. these allow us to contrast to our own physics and allow us to learn more about our planet and the forces that govern it.
We learn about history, and how things are formed (geology and chemistry). we learn how the pull of the sun effect us and how the pulling/pushing and movement of inter-system bodies effect the forces that guide us.
There is a lot of technology as mentioned, but for me, I find the most exciting thing is getting closer to answers on things we don't know. we've explored most of the earth, and there are still many things that we don't know. by going to the elements that effect these forces we can learn more about why our world does what it does.
I mean physics in general is at best a guess measuring how objects react. We can't even prove gravity as a universal force. It doesn't seem to metre well in space. We don't know what forces are at play that are effecting earth. We don't fully understand the trajectory of moving bodies that effect our climate and global make up. We are still trying to decipher a lot about minerals, the effects of rock, and planetary stuffs.
There is just so much we are searching answers for. And this doesn't even begging to question things like the origins of our solar system.
Space exploration, is paramount to us continuing to make advancements in so many fields of science-- that without it, it'd be more than astrophysicists having some extra time on their hands. |  |

We know more about space than we do about our oceans. Space is easier to observe and easier to get too. It shifted my interest from Particle Physics to Oceanography. I space is the new ocean, then maybe the ocean can be the new space. |  |

Southern baptists simply believe God created the world and all that s in it.
It's why scientists and Christians clash...
We don't and never have needed to go into space.
The Internet? Just how did the world manage without it. | |

We never needed to change from hunter-gather societies. It's human nature to attempt to better understand our surroundings and to explore. | |

We do and have needed to go into space, without space exploration we would have no global telecommunications networks, no GPS or navigational systems, global monitoring systems for the weather, oceans,climate etc. and all of the benefits that these things bring.
And that's not to mention the advances that have been made in science, technology and engineering or the amazing feats of human ingenuity and enterprise that has sent objects, crafts and even other humans beyond the confines of our own planet to almost every corner of the solar system and beyond.
And science doesn't care what people believe whether its that god made the world 6000 years ago or that we came from a lotus flower out of Vishnu's navel or whatever it is, it only cares about the evidence and what that tells us. |  |

A good response but to suggest we cannot live without GPs IS LUDICROUS.
Jesus, go to Cape St Vincent and see the remnants of Magellan s school of navigation at Sagres.
A brief resume would be;
Corbyn is wonderful
America is demonic
ISIS is our fault
All the evils of colonialism is down to us.
