Rockets and the space shuttle use hydrogen as fuel - the byproduct of hydrogen combustion is water, not polluting in the slightest. The only pollution comes from not re-using the equipment and having to start from scratch again.
There are plenty of other frivolous things you could pick on. How about the music industry - you don't NEED music, yet every year millions of CDs are made, which require oil, electricity, paper etc. At least space research serves a purpose.

1. Global Warming is going to happen in any case
2. Many of the weather satellites were sent up there in the first place to keep track of Global Cooling.
3. Have you ever heard of GPS, communication satellites, weather satellites, the Hubble Telescope, or a myriad of other useful space projects?

We are advertising our ignorance to the advanced aliens who visit us.
We are showing the Aliens that we don't care about any of the living things on this planet.
We have left space junk circling the planet as well as littering the moon by not bringing back what we took with us.
Is it any wonder they won't meet us. Look at what we did with the Aliens that crashed in Roswell. Did we try and help them or did we decide to cut them open to see what is there ?

There is going to come a day when all of the natural resources of this planet are used up. Hopefully by then, we will have the means to move to an earth-like planet or at least be able to extract missing resources from planet that do have what we need.

No. It has greater efficient issues to do with the money, the two interior of or outwith the gap programme. putting human beings into area replaced into continuously somewhat political stunt, with particularly little to do with technological know-how, regardless of the undeniable fact that it has exchange into gradually greater so via the years. think of of the form of high quality of photos we get from the furthest reaches of the image voltaic equipment, in comparison with the grainy stuff we've been given from Apollo eleven, to illustrate. the substantial element is that over the numerous years of the gap programme, computers and different digital gadgets (inclusive of cameras) have more suitable out of all attractiveness, because of the fact of Moore's regulation. The stability of benefit between guy and gadget has tilted immensely and irretrievably in favour of the machines. enable's deliver greater of them into area as a replace. i understand sending human beings into area is exciting, however the extensive quantities of money it costs would desire to purchase very lots of genuine technological know-how.

Normally, I NEVER agree with user
However, I think that answer makes a lot of sense. We waste tons of industrial potential on capitalistic endeavors, just so CEO's can make millions of dollars a year.
Space exploration at least serves a human interest.

Because ministers use mock-concern for global-warning like a PR-boosting tag, whilst flying around to their heart's content (jets, rockets), and we all have to remember to not leave our TVs on stand-by.
