I understand how you feel. I think that one of the reasons so many people are apathetic these days it that they're just terminally bored. They see nothing interesting to shoot for, just life in a cubicle or McJobs. Space exploration gives this country something interesting to strive for.

I understand wanting to solve problems on Earth, but we shouldn't use that excuse to put a halt to exploration and science. Ending NASA won't put a dent in the world's woes. It would actually cause more woes by hurting the (already limping) aerospace industry.
