Our society wouldn’t just be decades behind technologically we’d be lacking a foundational aspect of the human experience: exploration. Philosophically we do it to uncover the mysteries of the universe. Economically we do it for the good of all mankind, and those who do it will be richer for it. Trust me, the money spent on space exploration has a much more outsized impact on our life than do social programs of similar costs.
