What do you think? Should we send Rockets to space just to explore it or give those money to pour people and try to eliminate poverty and health problems such us malaria in 3rd world countries??

while I find the search of life in space fascinating and I don't think we should stop all at once I believe we should give less money to it and maybe we should put it on a low budget as long as we still have problems like this here.. Nice threat thnx for creating it..

Very Interesting. I think the money would be better used for poverty relief.

yeah, maybe...allysamilanofan youare right. I mean... that we shouldn't stop discovering space but we should reduce the money we invest on space discoveries and increase the money given to researches for viruses and poor people. ...

Yeah I think so 2.. Maybe there are answers out there that could help the planet but what good are they and what good is technology if we can't find a way to ensure everyone has a equally good chance at a good life?.. By the way you can call me Jenny  .. |

I think we shouldn't choose, but again I have to agree with Jenny in here. It is shocking to hear how much money govs. spend on space travel... and not just that!
they spend money on airforce planes and rockets and these things that lay in a parking specially for them and they cost billions of dollars and they aren't being used or anything. that's just wrong. there r alota issues that need to be solved in the world and poverty is one of them.
they need to set their priorities straight. I wouldn't say countries shouldn't have weapons cuz that wud be rather impossible but they need to spend money on things that are of interest to the people.

Fun fact: Costa Rica doesn't have any type of military defense  . Isn't that just incredible?! Haha I was astounded. I think there's other country, too, but I seem unable to remember at the moment. As I have stated a couple of times before, I believe the government should not exist. However, in present society, capital should be invested in: 1.) Poverty and 2.) Environment. People are dying right now for these causes, and what the state usually focuses on are things that give immediate responses (like.. dying!), but of course, most of the money usually goes to arming the country, and as we have all agreed on is that this should not occur. **** those wars..! |

wow! that's great, if they don't have any form of military defense then they can spend their money on other issues rather than just putting those stuff 'IN CASE' but anyways I agree with Vic when it comes to where our money should, our top things to handle r poverty and environment! karma 4 u Vic |

Costa Rica is protected by the USA, that's why they don't have a military (there are some other island in the caribean, but I can't remember them right now).
How whould you spend the money to fight poverty? You can't just hand them money to bring them out of poverty, they need an income that can sustain a better way of life. They need health care, safty from violence, and a government that isn't oppresive. If you send $500 million to some country and the government takes it all, than you've done nothing but help the government. So do you over through the government? That would be calling for a war, and not many people want another one right now.
