Canadians.
So annoying yet weirdly addictive.
Are you refering to Canadians or the video????????
"Very funny Scotty; now beam down our clothes."
VEGETARIAN: Ancient Hindu word for "lousy hunter"
If man was formed from dirt, why is there still dirt?
im pretty sure I meant the video but I cannot be sure. Im not sure how a canadian can be addictive? What do I smoke em?
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
No animal shall wear clothes.
No animal shall sleep in a bed.
No animal shall drink alcohol.
No animal shall kill any other animal.
All animals are equal.
Signature ? How ?
Obviously Canadians.

That logic could apply to many things: reading fiction, watching movies, playing video games, and so on. I mean, we should be solving all the other problems you mentioned rather than wasting time and billions of dollars of resources (far more than we put into non-commercial space projects) on these passtimes.
Investment is space exploration has given us great insight not only into the workings of reality, but also practical things that benefit your life every day. Satellite communications, GPS, computers, and dehydrated ice cream have all benefited from the money we've spent on space exploration.
The environment (especially global warming) benefits from our study of other planets, as it helps us model our own world better. (As one example.)
Not that we put that much money into space exploration. It's really a small percent of the total budget, and is dwarfed by military spending, which benefits us even less.
Of course, standard disclaimers apply: this is my opinion. I could be wrong.
"Yes, I seriously believe that consciousness is a product of a natural process. I find that the neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers who proceed from that premise are the ones who are actually making useful contributions to our understanding of the mind." - PZ Myers
Awesome vid.
To add to Nigel's response, space is our future, if we have a future. Even technology won't keep the Earth habitable forever. And you never know when the next big rock heads our way. Space exploration is vital to our survival. Contrary to too much, we don't spend nearly enough on it.
