alot of money spent on space with no value of return.

Satalites have helped make the society we have today possible:  \n1. We broadcast live around the world. \n2. We spy with satalites and I would hate to see space war technology develope elsewhere but not in USA.  \n3. We can study the earth in space in ways we can't on the ground, (a birds eye view so to speak.)\n4. Things with which others can explain.\n\nNASA and Space exploration may be able to detect an asteroid or comet that may strike the earth.  Something most certainly did in Siberia in 1908.  I would not go by any event that happened 65 million years age, but 1908 isn't so long age.  We were so lucky then.  If something like that happens over New York, 10 million people will be killed.  If it happens over the ocean, the title wave will probably compare to the one in 2004.\n\nColonizing space, the moon and/or Mars may prove to be invaluable in the future.  It is proving difficult to clean up this Earth after we messed it up so bad.  We could start over.  (if you care about future generations.)\n\nWe are a species that need to test it's limits.  That is why Stonehedge and the pyramids were built.  We need self esteem as a species.  We will concider our selves disapointments if we don't do that which we are capbable.

It is true that majority of the expenditure that is being incurred today is a waste .....\n\nIt is not really economically productive expenditure....\n\nWhat one needs to learn and earn through the process of eductaion is not being learned or earned ....\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/\n\nhttp://www.schoolingkids.com/

the NZ $ is depreciating because it was artificially inflated when the Lord of the Rings movies came out.  Now its correcting back to normal.  Oh and my gay professor is moving back there, that can't be a good thing for NZ

because the cost of building robots and sending them out to space to mine these asteriods, then transporting the ore back to earth is more than the ore itself. We will begin to harvest space junk when space travel becomes cheaper.

Oriental Trading has pretty unexpensive items and a large inventory.

I would go if I could afford it! Hopefully this commercilization of space will have the same effect as when anything becomes commercial - Things cost less and less and advancement come faster and faster. I'm waiting for a week long vacation at a space hotel.

To be honest. Not much. The desktop market is just too saturated. I would look at donating it to a charity. You get a better tax write off than going through the hassle of trying to sell it, while helping out folks in need. Win-win. TX

I'm so sorry this happened to you.  In all honesty, the government doesn't care.  They put up a paltry reward of $50K for the return.  Whomever buys this information, sadly YOUR information, will pay much much more than $50K.\n\nIf you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

I say we spend billions in space.  Here is my reasoning, "Idle hands are the devils playthings", and if we're not doing constructive we're going to do something terribly stupid like blow ourselves off the face of the earth.\nSecondly, the survival of the human race depends on reaching out to space and colonizing other planets.  Whether it can be done or not is another question, but waiting for ourlseves to blow ourselves to kingdom come isn't a option I'm interested in taking.  As for evolving, thats entirely correct, because if we push out to somewhere new we can leave behind the things that we could never get over at home (like trivial matters of me being black or you being white, etc).  Some humans just wont let things go foward, and if thats the case why not leave them behind?  Its what America was about when it started, except there isn't anywhere else to go except up now days.  Otherwise we're just recycling ourselves on this planet, with one government falling so another can rise up which thinks its infallable.  Still, despite all that, we've got to be practical about space travel instead of believing we'll get there in 10 to 20 years.  Just because it wont have for us isn't a reason not to do it either, making others miserable just because your miserable is no way to go through life, even if the people your making miserable are five generations down the line.
