Obama Has Permanently Shut The U.S. Manned Space Program.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I think differently.

And is thanks to Space exploration that we understand our own world better and how to save it!

In my eyes, scientific knowledge does not make us understand the world better in a positive way. Just compare our current civilization to the civilization of the native americans or ancient nature tribes.

Who know/knew the most of the world, scientifically speaking? Us.
Who live/lived happier lives? In my opinion, them.

Breaking down the world into numbers and measurements explains to us that something is what it is - but do these explanations makes us happier? Do we still know *why* we are here, if there is any meaning to our lives? No.

Look at today's society, and look where our strive for scientific knowledge and our ability to use it to benefit our own personal goals. And see where it has led us.
