And human beeings are also built the way they are only to explore space....what else would we need a brain for?

Because, my friend, NOTHING happens on this planet without $$$'s. Irrespective of what you think about "capitalism" or space exploration or even the race for military dominance. IF it wasn't for those we'd be still toasting our bread in log fired toasters. The "East" (as in ideology and technology) has done NOTHING for this planet except to copy, fine tune, adapt and MASS produce (cheaply), technology they've "borrowed" from the "West". NOT that it's a BAD thing, otherwise we'd still be buying XT's at $5,000. "Capitalism" may have it's terrible legacies (ie no social morals) BUT it's all we have that's pushing progress. I'm certainly NOT saying that it's the "best" system. The rest of the western "group" don't have much better "ethics" either (re capitalism) and contribute VERY little to the "knowledge pool", compared to the US. So like it or lump it mate.
But come the revolution ... the winds of change ...

No, NASA did not invent digitizing of an analog signal, but they are responsible for getting much of the ball rolling on digital sensors used to image other planets, and are still pushing the envelope. That 1mp camera that is on that rover might seem like it is not much to us now, but back when that rover was being designed etc. that was beyond the state of the art. Exploration of Space has benefited every living person and animal on the planet, indirectly maybe, but it is true. The list of things that have been developed or discovered because of the space program is enough to fill a 500 page book. Heavyweather is an idiot.. I agree. Just knowing the possibilites of the future is worth pushing space exploration forward. We have barely started on our exploration of the universe.

?every animal?
I am sure it was a pleasure to meet the human race for all the extinct animals.
It was the best thing that ever happened to the animals that lived on every airfield and spacecenter on this planet...
like airpolution is so great cause it makes them harder
wait...I can see now...you mean the products that where developed by NASA for your dog?
Vitamins for cat food?
Not to forget Vibrators...they where first developed for female astronauts to train muscels...
And Cresco...for the homose*xual astronauts...cause woman wheren't available on the first flights. Such a gliding experience.
And all the other cra*p we use was devloped by the second good force...the army.
you are so american!

More dribble from HW- at least it's entertaining.
If you had any knowledge of animal and species protection you would know that space research has been critical to turning around the effects of man on nature.
Radar tracking, micro chip technology, IR satelite mapping
It must be wondeful to be so simplistic and ignore the complexity of life HW. Now let me guess your gae - under 10 ? That certainly explains your lack of understanding on the world.

Wazza, The idiot Heavyweather doesn't realize that without the space program we would not know about the deforestization of the rain forest... the oxone hole, the global warming, etc. etc. Many more species would have already gone extinct if it were not for the space program. Etc. etc. Yes the space program has benefited ALL life on the planet Earth in many many more ways than can be listed in this forum's character limitation. From the smallest bacterium to human beings, we have ALL benefited. But people like you who are so short sighted as to be proven idiots keep saying that money could have been better spent here on Earth?! Wake up. Think for a moment all that the space program has done for life... serious.. think about it! The Space programs of the world are vital to this planet, including exploring the rest of the solar system. You need to grow up. The only reason I keep responding to your posts, Heavyweather, is so that your idocy does not spread to other people who might believe what you say. You are scum for spreading such nonsense.

Sean

This is ridiculous! There is more to cultural contribution that refining a mass production technique to keep cheap goods rolling...
I'm no historian but I'm pretty sure that the East's contribution to world culture started rather before the late 1950's...

"With respect to culture" and related ethics, absolutely !! and even far greater. But not "With respect to the technology contribution".
