Besides the wow! we did it!...what does it bring us to solve the issues we now face? It's not trying to solve our issues so why would you ask that? Human exploration has been fruitful as a whole; hence why we aren't still hiding from lions in Africa. Why would space exploration be any different? Expanding our species outside of Earth can only be a good thing. It gives our species a chance to survive a global catastrophe. Not to mention all the useful technology that inevitably comes with the R&D surrounding space exploration. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/infographics/20-inventions-we-wouldnt-have-without-space-travel

Yes there have been a few inventions due to the space program that have improved our lives but for the most part it has been a waste of money. Off some billionaire wants to use his money to go to space then that’s fine but Government financed space exploration needs to go away.

9094, I would be fine with government financed space exploration going away if/when the FAA gets out of the way of the private sector's space work. They've already delayed SpaceX's Starship program by a year due to the environmental review down in Boca Chica.
Nothing wrong the FAA making sure that SpaceX has their sh*t together but the drawn out bureaucratic nonsense they're dealing with right now is completely unacceptable.

Finally going to the moon or finally going back to the moon?
I'm not a flat earth guy, but I don't believe we ever went to the moon in the first place.

NASA using warmed over, outdated technology from the space shuttle to try and go somewhere we've already been. Trying to relive their Apollo glory days. Way behind schedule and way over budget and it's only going to get worse.
You are not a good or nice person.

Way behind schedule and way over budget and it's only going to get worse. ^ This Estimated to cost over 1 billion $ per launch. Musk is estimating 100 million $ per launch for the Starship, which was designed from the ground up and uses much newer technology. Government waste at its finest.

I'm not a flat earth guy, but I don't believe we ever went to the moon in the first place. Google this "lunar laser ranging retroreflector array" and read up on it if you're interested. This is something that could be demonstrated right in front of your eyes. Unless you believe in a grand conspiracy coverup, this is about as definitive as it gets.

They must have found Lithium on the moon. Not lithium, huge amounts of Helium-3. Stuff works great in nuclear fusion reactors.
He is truly a sick individual.

Not a billion dollars into the economy of high tech, high paying jobs. Especially not coming up with new, updated technology to replace the old worn out stuff. It's not like we use the cash as jet fuel.

Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
