Why do we consider that space exploration is waste?

You must have heard all these comments on the news media and also on the magazine articles. That space exploration is waste, justifying that it does not help the man on the ground.
      This kind of debate is especially true in the developing countries, but it is surprising that such debates are not given much importance in the developed and the powerful nations. Why? Is it because it is a good electorial weapon or to discredit the efforts of the scientists and the scientific fraternity?

Arguments"Lots of investments on a rocket,insted can be used on humanity"

These arguments are in the mind of the brain dead activists who do not study the space mission program very properly. The investments are not directly going to impact the lives of the people or the poor citizens on the ground. But the indirect and the most significant effect will be felt.

      Let us take for an example as a rocket launch to put a weather monitoring satellite in orbit in a geo stationary orbit. The cost and the man hours will be enormous but if the direct effect of the investments will be no where to be found. But at the time of a very rain storm or a wind cyclone or a tsunami the people can be evacuated in time and the civilian loss can be reduced. If the satellite was not there then the priceless human life would have been lost.

       Why is it necessary for the developing country to be a part of this, The majour reason is when the report from a foreign satellite comes to the concerned govenment through all the beauracracy and the red tape, the damage has been done. and by this time most of the citizens would have been killed.

So to say that the cost is not worth it is meaning less.

Argument"Reaching Mars is waste, finding water on mars is no use"

Apart from the curiosity to reach mars and see what it there in the red planet. The mission is more of a technology demonstrator and not a mission in desperation to study it. The people who argue do not no that the technology required to reach the place is more advanced than the F1 Car. So by reaching the place the scientists and the space agency proves that it has the technology and the capacity to reach it.

      What people don't understand is the technology that is invented is intern used in the daily application in the most subtle way. Many of the modern technology in the medical field and cancer treatment have come from these useless space missions.

      

To give an example this space water treatment system has cost millions of dollars to produce it and install it in space.

But this same technology and advanced methods are used here on earth to help the man on the ground.

What people and all these brain dead people is the amount of study that is put in it.

These systems do not materialize form thin air but are built by people who have done a lot of work on them.

Why so much of investments, why not use it for the poor

This is the most favourite comment by all the people who think that space exploration is useless. Well it you see closly the annual budget of the country this is a very small amount. The portion of money used on the millitary is too much but no one seems to care. The money that is stached in the foreign banks as black money is incompareble. The anount of money spent in wars is well no need to explain. SO TO SAY THAT USING MONEY ON SPACE EXPLORATON IS USELESS IS ACTUALLY USELESS.
