I mean i definitely question government funding of sports

It seems stupid, but you dont really think of space as a place to find anything useful you could bring back to earth so much as just a deep black hole that’ll kill you in an infinite number of ways but it’ll probably look indescribably amazing while you burn up or condense into an atom or you’re vaporized

Lots of places it could be taken out of, the point is, is it better to specifically allocate or use what money we have on things that are current major issues. But like others have said many parts of the world are able to handle both at the same time, meaning money can be allocated to research and whatnot of what some call unnecessary, while still dealing with current issues. Especially when that funding could be used to help with current issues in the future.

I get this is amazing and important, is it not kind of goofy in light of issues already going on in the world? Its a major arguement people use all the time “who cares about fucking space rocks my freedoms are being infringed and kids are stupid as shit put money towards that”

but seriously, does it make sense to put billions towards space exploration when theres homeless, helpless, neglected, helicoptered, enviroment, mentally unhealthy, all different types of issues with people right here right now, that money could go toward?

Does the extreme differences in belief between governments, political parties, people in general that makes it hard for real change to be enacted kind of just cancel all that out and they figure the money might as well go somewhere important?

Is the entire arguement invalid in that money needs to go where it needs to go, some money for space shouldn’t necessarily be questioned as to why it didnt go to homelessness or some other major issue?

You smoked smn before you wrote that header huh lmao regardless you’re right, it’s exactly how i am and ive been stuck in that feeling for years, and i try to unravel it and make it make sense all day every day while i run around doing random menial shit, and when i say that i literally mean it ill spend entire days going to different parts of my room, sitting, panicking and over exaggerating and spiraling and generally digging my preverbial hole or as i call it “thinking” and absolutely nothing else. Instead of thinking i need to do this that and the other thing bit i gotta get a good start tomorrow and then staying up til 5 in the morning high as shit eating anything my eyeballs can sense, i could get up at 1 tomorrow instead of 4-5, go work out, cook some good food, not eat all of it, and get some work done. And i wanna tell myself thats what ill do too.
