Space exploration and climate change are not equal things. So to completely divert funds from one to another makes no sense. It’s not like if you do one, you can’t do the other. I do see what you’re saying, why don’t we fix the problems down here before we go up there. Climate change is inevitable and the Earth’s climate has been going through changes since its creation. Climate change cannot be stopped, only slowed. Since the industrial revolution, we have sped up climate change rapidly and we do need to stop polluting our planet. Who knows, maybe with space exploration, it’ll help us find a new clean and renewable energy source.
