People running space exploration are not interested in making life better for other humans. They just want to develop technology without any strings attached. This is excellent for companies that will later get technology transfers, i.e., free tech researched with public money. In the end it is an excuse to enrich the 1% even more, a free lunch for the rich.

I just got downvoted for saying something similar :) That isn't the problem. The reason i shared these opinions here on HN, is due to the faith in the HN community that they would be willing to have a civil discourse even if its opposed to their worldview. That is something i least expect from the HN community. :)

I would be happy if those who downvoted without reading the entire argument, would also contribute their views on why this argument is wrong :)
