Space research necessitates research into water recollection, purifying, and usage.

Going to the moon isn't just dumping money into getting from point A to B, like paying for gas during a daily commute. It's about advancing technology that improves life for everyone. Just look at this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_spinoff_technologies

Hopefully, a few of these people become entrepreneurs.
