The problem is without influence this all comes to nothing…….The UN, the US and the EU have never been able to accommodate each other in any constructive manner that has allowed third world governments to serve their people before themselves, the same can be said of any National Governments. The US spends trillions of dollars on space exploration which aids progress and trillions of dollars on weapon development to fight an enemy that could never match it, yet their own back yard is full of despair and the dispossessed, but not a penny saved would reach them. HIV/Aid’s is engulfing the sub African continent and the drugs needed to stem the pain of death are readily available and cheap to produce, yet the leading edge drug company’s demand exorbitant remuneration, this alone coupled with the Catholic Church’s condemnation of contraception and the corruption of governments on all continents will take a life for every breath we take tonight. The fact is that you don’t need to end Space exploration to make amends in this world of pity, deal with the corruption and the criminals that breed off it and you will have all the money you need.
