Some questions for debate:
1. Is space exploration getting enough funding? (is it getting too much?)
2. Is it getting enough publicity; is it considered unimportant?
3. Is human exploration of Mars a reasonable target for the next few decades, or should it be a much longer term goal?
4. How important is space exploration?
1. Human space exploration is getting too much money yes. I firmly believe much of the research could be accomplished without the humans factor. Having the human factor imposes a huge burden that should be avoided.
2. Enough
3. Human exploration of Mars wont be possilbe till 100 years from now. Even then I question its usefulness.
4. Space exploration is extremely important.
