True. But we have start at some point.
True. But it does happen when you least expect it.
Maybe replacing fission, because the safety is still not 100%. Fusion isn't nearly efficient enough, but it is totally clean and no radioactivity. Geothermal energy is very interesting...
In general, I agree with both our points. I mean, exploring space is quote an undertaking. Who knows how much time and money it may cost? And what risks are involved? And what will suffer onEarth, when we have to divide our attention? But still... Come on. Exploring SPACE, isn't that frikken' awesome? Eventually, it should become an inevitability
And internet?
Hmm...I didn't think that there was any kind of nuclear energy that was 100% safe. What's the difference between fission and fusion exactly?
One would hope so.
Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits spontaneously or on impact with another particle, with the release of energy. Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei of low atomic number fuse to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy.
Nuclear fusion is that what we use today, and receives a lot of negative response because of the safety risks. Aside from that, it's clean, efficient and durable, but the few disasters that have happened were catastrophic enough to make people want to ban it altogether. Nuclear fission on the other hand does not release radioactivity, and as a result is much more promising. However, the problem here is that its energy efficiency is still negative. We essentially recreate the process of the sun, but because we don't have that kind of pressure here, we raise the temperature about ten(if I recall correctly) times. And that takes a lot of energy. Scientists are still working on this and try to develop a way to harness a lot of energy, because it has great potential.
And time is money (as the saying goes). So I'm 18 years of stupid? Thanks a lot.
I understand that expanding our species (God forbid) and starting colonies elsewhere in the universe could potentially mean the survival of our species but haven't we gotten a large sum of problems on our current planet right now? If we can't live like civilized and meaningful beings on this planet why should we deserve to go exploring the space and possibly meeting other species? We can barely afford wars on this planet, I can't imagine the cost for a war in space. It seems like an awful lot of money to be spending on a project which is already far away from being successful or even tested for that matter, when we have an economic problem, not just the US but the world.
Oh well. Someone in NASA, or multiple people, are probably smoking a big fat cuban right now, sweating with joy over the big pile of cash they just got from the Government after showing the World how "useful" NASA still is.

We can say that about pretty much anything they do. If they don't spend money on this, they'll spend on something else that only benefits the few higher-ups in society. There would be a minimum chance of the money going to something useful. At least space is beautiful, in contrast to war, disease and whatnot.
Here, I'll let you borrow this:

Because then we could have one planet for all the Christians.
Another one for all the Muslims.
And a final one for all the Jews.
Abracadabra! A good bulk of the world's problems quite literally out the window.
Then we can stick a few of them from each planet all onto another planet. We'll make a reality show out of it!
