I wish the world was better at just giving a ton of money to science and space. It's such an obvious use of money, if you ask me.

Especially since the future of humanity, given that we survive, is in space. There is a lot of potential for space-based infrastructure.

Too many people think that when we spend money on space, that we are literally sending the money into orbit. Almost all of it is going back into the economy and keeping tons of businesses alive.
