The problem of the space exploration is the money, the money, the money

American money, American money American money.

As long as they don't waste it on such useless projects as policing, health care, education and such, there really shouldn't be a problem. They can continue to impress everyone with their military, their space research and have enough left over to pay their leaders millions.

In the end, it's all down to priorities.

Fortunately, as a Briton, I don't care!

It is true that if some expenses would be better controlled, the space exploration would make more progress
