    You think going to the moon will boost morale better then something like fixing corruption or starting ubi or making sure everyone has food and shelter?

      Unironically yes, I do believe that. Space exploration is a worthy endeavor in and of itself and takes up a fraction of the budget.

        I disagree, but that’s fine. Good thing I don’t run the world, eh?

          Do you disagree concerning what would motivate you or the average person in the world? I’m answering based on the latter.
