I'd much rather give free stuff to people. Given those people are citizens and it allows their reinsertion into society. Space exploration supposed benefits are far more remote and as of now, not very useful.

None of us alive today will be living in space one day.

All of us alive today can benefit from assistance given to the least of us.

I want the space future too. However, I also want my time here to be better.

I won't see the space future. Sadly.

I could easily see a cleaner, more harmonious world.

Being human can suck. These discussions are one of the ways it does.
