You can make synthetic diamonds, and natural diamonds are only so expensive because DeBeers monopolises and constricts the supply. You might as well mention that nebula that contains billions of tons of alcohol. Just as hard to reach and just as useless.

That's not ignorance, it's just common sense to invest money in real and present problems we have now than in the space program. Sure, the space program does create spinoffs that we can sometimes use in our daily lives but that isn't common. I think air travel will benefit the most from current research through joint ventures between the Japanese/Australians/USA into scramjet technology.
Having an active space-program was mostly just a very expensive pissing contest during the Cold War; it isn't as necessary anymore to try and send send men to Mars or back to the Moon. Research is still very important though for the economy, especially because asian countries are catching up at a phenomenal rate. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
