gravy b
a. I'm 37
b. why would I think you're a conformist? I know nothing about you.
c. all the US won was the race to the moon and a few thousand photographs. Oh yeah, and aliens abducting Cletus. The Soviets were first for everything else...first object/creature/man in space, first orbit of the moon...and in a few years the Chinese are gonna wipe the skies with NASA...so go have a cheeseburger and calm yourself down.

I would say a mix between A and C. There is a little bit of Ego going on between the countries trying to prove they can do one better than the other in regards to space flight. However, with an increasing population it is natural for us as humans to want to explore uncharted territory to expand our race, and to find more resources we need to survive once ours are depleted. We need to find new land to accomodate our ever growing population. It's also a natural curiosity for us to explore the unknown. There is a reason they call space the final frontier.

It also is around to create a goal which can only be achieved by pushing the envelope of what technology can do. There are a lot of common household items that were developed for the space program and then later modified for everyday use.

b. and c., when referring to physical exploration of other macrocosms, which I believe is not necessary. I think a lot of benefit can come from the search for legitimate scientific answers to age-old questions about our origins through simple observation via satellites like the HST. Not to mention a ton of neat pictures.

All of the above but I am just cynical enough to choose c.

I think it is none of those. It is just a desire to explore. Which I think we should do.
