[Margaret Pilkington]

I used to think that the exploration of space was wonderful........and I suppose to some degree it still is, but now I am bored by it all.
It doesn't seem relative to the problems that we have on terra firma........and I know that there are some problems that can't be solved by throwing money at them......(like the famine in the third world countries)......but there must be something better to spend the money on......something that would benefit all of us here on earth.

And YES, I do know that there have been a number of spin offs from space travel, but did they really warrant so much money being spent to achieve them...?
