Once Explorer 1 gets right out into deep space and its batteries run out, it will be just an expensive piece of space junk that will burn up in Alpha Centauri in around 170,000 years!Yes and claiming to be discovering the origins of the universe to keep funding going.
We have to start somewhere.The space programme reminds me of an ant crawling up a blade of grass, calling out to the other ants, "I'm exploring the world!" when they haven't even started exploring the lawn!!
What's the point if to get anywhere, it is going to take hundreds of years for man to get past the solar system, and then where will he go? The nearest star is 170,000 years away, and we don't know if there is anything when we get there, but if something is found, it will take 170,000 years to get back to tell anyone about it.We have to start somewhere.
There’s still plenty of things in our own solar system we have to learn about and explore. Besides, gathering information increases our understanding of the universe.What's the point if to get anywhere, it is going to take hundreds of years for man to get past the solar system, and then where will he go?

The point I am making is that the space programme is spending trillions of dollars and will ultimately achieve nothing of value.He knows more than the lazy ones who stayed on the ground.
The space program hasn’t spent a trillion dollars in its entire existence. And it has achieved many things of value.The point I am making is that the space programme is spending trillions of dollars and will ultimately achieve nothing of value.
Space programme' inventions we use in our daily life:The point I am making is that the space programme is spending trillions of dollars and will ultimately achieve nothing of value.
Not the fraction of a cent per federal tax dollar sent to NASA.We can see from our back yard when rockets take off. I see so much money just flying away. Central Florida has a major homeless problem. Hmmmm... where could money come from to help??
Very true. Trying to explore and learn is a terrible thing.The space programme reminds me of an ant crawling up a blade of grass, calling out to the other ants, "I'm exploring the world!" when they haven't even started exploring the lawn!!
The sad thing is, the more I hang out on these forums, the more I’m starting to suspect there are people who legit believe this.Very true. Trying to explore and learn is a terrible thing.
