Scientific research only helps in reaffirming our faith in God. It is a different matter that scientific researches gradually discard the religious dogmas, but on the other hand reaffirms what the Vedic faith in India has been believing for so many centuries.
What is that religion which advocates falsehood and sticks to it. It is as good as perpetuating ignorance and superstition. Truth evolves and manifests gradually and not once and for all. Science is an expression of this evolution. Space is the unmanifested aspect of the Nature or the Truth. That is what said in the Vedanta. Space research and its findings only confirm these faith of Hinduism. Hence, faith in general is not a factor in slowing down research in space programme. It may be told about some organized faiths in the world, controlled by the clergies who do not allow any change to given ideas in their scripture concerned. But at least, Hinduism which is extremely liberal and eclectic believes science as an aspect of divinity and the Truth.

Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton were truly religious people
believing in God (the Christian way) The 'scientists' of that time
believed that studding nature is alternative way of getting at the truth beside the Bible.
Separation between science and religion came later with Darwin and continues to present (rightfully)

When asking a question like this, you need to cite a rationale for it. Otherwise, no one will understand what you're getting at. I know I don't.

Ah who knows...
It's definitely slowing stem cell research, though.

I don't think so. I'm a born again Christian, and yet am totally fascinated by what science has been doing concerning the cosmos.

Not unless people dont want to explore out of fear that it may question their faith.
