Is space exploration good or bad?

Bad: It costs a lot.

Good: It gives us the option to move to other planets/moons. It opens up access to vast quantities of resources. It gives us somewhere to go if the Earth is destroyed It forces us to develop many new technologies. It gave us satellites, velcro, and dehydrated ice cream.

There really is no bad here, except for the cost. Now that private firms are getting in to space travel, that should drop dramatically. NASA was great for getting to the Moon, but has become bloated, bureaucratic and slow in recent years. UMM LIKE WHO CARES BOUTS ICE-CREAM.
