    No one wants a rocket program.
    

    This is why I mentioned the importance of funding education earlier. You have tunnel vision because you either didn’t attend school, didn’t pay attention while there or simply had a very poor curriculum.

    Feeding the starving and doing everything else aren’t mutually exclusive. The reason why we aren’t feeding the hungry is not because we are launching rockets into space.

    Space programs and NASA has contributed a lot of technologies that we use in our everyday life. It made our lives easier, safer and has opened up more economic opportunities. If you are generating more money, more jobs, more services then it’s easier to have extra money for social services.

    $2,000,000,000 to Elon this past year
    

    At this point it feels like you have comprehension issues, because me and several other people have already explained to you in detail that NASA isn’t donating money to Elon.

      Feeding the starving is mutually exclusive especially when you can subsidize farmers. Farmers make a terrible wage it wouldn’t even be expensive to pay them off for free grain, cattle etc…

      NASA is giving money to elon whether it is donated or not. He provides no service worth the cost. 600,000 people have internet versus the entire United States having free grain and hamburgers. For instance, data shows uber paid contractors $15,000,000,000 last year. Assuming food spend is about 10% of your monthly budget Elon would be able to cover the entire food bill of every Uber employee. If you scale that up to his entire company you most likely could pay off the entire industry on a yearly basis.

        This is starting to feel like a troll because no one can be this dense or uninformed.

        Farms and crops are heavily subsidized. The reason farmers are in a bind is not because of subsidies, it’s because of conglomerates and predatory business practices by them.

        I won’t even reply to the second paragraph because it’s a word soup written by AI.

        Please, for the love of god, do a bit of reading, learn logic and fallacies before coming into public forums to debate.
