Yes, but also fund ocean exploration.
@8QDSNZY4yrs4Y
Maybe in the future, but now we have more pressing issues to deal with first
@8RBQDDP4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should focus on saving the Earth instead of leaving it, we should make sure it is cost effective and we should partner with private companies when possible to lower costs
@8XQ8B593yrs3Y
Yes, but it should be a moderate budget, not to much money
@3868DQW4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for scientific research purposes.
@784P5S54yrs4Y
The government (NASA) should help private companies (SpaceX) with space travel.
@8F4ZGL35yrs5Y
Reduce the amount the government is spending on space travel, leave more of it in the hands of private companies. Then the government should use that money to focus on saving this Earth.
@8F4JCSK5yrs5Y
I think its important to learns what outside our world but we shouldn't take money from someone else and give it to space travel
@8LSVCGK4yrs4Y
Yes, but for military and science purposes
@8M6D6WR4yrs4Y
Yes in the form of subsidies for private companies
@8STJ2TC4yrs4Y
No, the focus should be on saving the planet we inhabit currently.
@8XJCSLD3yrs3Y
It is actually a interesting question. Government funding could be good for space exploration, but we could also use the money in our more weak areas in economics.
@8YJYYGW3yrs3Y
I am satisfied with our current funding.
