How India flew to the moon economy class

My post, and the one I responded to, have absolutely NOTHING to do with the past and all the innovation space exploration brought us. You completely missed my point.

Right now, given our current credit and debt crisis, space exploration (aka extraneous spending) should NOT be at the top of the list. Paying the bills needs to be the focus here, and while space exploration might be the "best money ever spent" as you claim, you might have forgotten that we don't have any money to spend right now.

That there is exactly the point. Its the "we don't have time to build a mill, we've got grain to grind" argument.
