It's natural to push boundries and reach seemingly impossible challenges. It is an awful lot of money though when you think of all the people in USA without homes and sleeping in cars etc. There is a lot of poverty there.

I kind of agree, however, if it’s for that reason there are many many places on our own planet we could explore and utilise first.

For me, imo, it’s utterly immoral!

By the Artemis 4 lunar landing, NASA is projected to spend about $105 billion on the programme.

They had a discussion on R4 "Moral Maze". Is it a wonderful reach into the as yet not explored (it goes round the other side of the moon, as yet not seen)

Is it a glorification of a regime in trouble

Or could and should the USA spend it on their own people, and their medical and educational needs, better policing, and so on?

I very much tend towards the latter, but there is something magic about reaching into space.
