To the people who think space exploration is a waste of resources. During the moon-race, the US invested tons of money into research and development for the moon shot. Now, it's true not ALL of the resulting products made it into the public sector, but a lot did. Not only that, but it inspired a generation to go into engineering and the sciences, all in hopes to become the next rocket engineer or astronaut. Not all of those men and women were going to go into NASA, so they ended up elsewhere, building better cars, better computers, developing synthetic fuels and lubricants, developing products that improved our general lives plus producing jobs. We haven't had a positive view of NASA, and our economy is stagnant. A new moon shot could be just what we need to jumpstart our flagging economy.
