Neither, spend more money on real health care for people. People are more important than any of those explorations.
Should the government spend on space exploration?
We should spend a minimum amount on space exploration, mainly using unmanned vehicles. We (the USA) can not afford to spend too much, because we are trillions of dollars in debt and there are too many more important programs that need the money more than space.A historically informed perspective:One of the periods of greatest technological and economic advancement in the history of the US was between 1962 to 1972. This period of time coincides with the Gemini and Apollo programs. The US space program produced advancements in science across nearly all disciplines, many leading to improvements in the US economy and standard of living. It can only be surmised that continued, possibly even increased emphasis on space exploration would produce similar results today. To end a potential solution to huge problems in society because of those very same huge problems in society is incredibly foolish and short sighted.
Is spending money on space exploration worth it?
Yes. If NASA had been permitted to patent the tech it created, they would not have to spend one dime of taxpayer money. The spinoff of NASA is tremendous. You are reading these words on a descendant of NASA's DSKY computer, powered by a descendant of NASA's Integrated Circuit CPU, the first computer on a chip. If you aren't a waste of money, then neither is NASA!
How much money does the US government spend annually on space exploration?
I don't have a number, but I'm sure many millions and maybe billions of US dollars have been spent on preparations, hardware, infrastructure, training, and fuel for space missions that failed because they blew up on the launch pad, exploded soon after launch, or got lost in space. But here's an idea that NASA needs to shout from the skies and they're not doing it: The US space program does NOT load spacecraft with bags of $100 bills, does NOT boost tons of money into orbit, and does NOT purchase rocket fuel ! The money does not go into space. It pays scientists, engineers, technicians and truck drivers who work at the laboratories and launch facilities to operate the space program, and it pays to buy drawings, software, hardware and consumable supplies from hundreds of companies around the US that feed research and manufacturing into the space program, which in turn goes into the pockets of the employees of THOSE companies. Whether the launch succeeds or fails, the money goes into the US economy ... through JOBS, by the way, that wouldn't exist without the space program. Hydrogen is one of the most plentiful elements on earth. Wherever there's water, there's hydrogen. Nobody pays for it. If you need hydrogen, you pay the PEOPLE who take the water out of the ocean for free or catch the rain that runs down the roof of their factorey, then split the hydrogen out of it, stuff it into tanks, and deliver it to you. Again, even if the rocket loaded with hydrogen fuel explodes on the pad ... or if a truckload of hydrogen drives off a cliff and the fuel never even reaches the rocket ... the people who refined and packed the hydrogen spend the money on groceries and schools, and the money gets pumped straight into the US economy. So excuse me, this is my opinion and the Wiki supervisor may delete it, but to me it's really intellectually vacuous to say "Why shoot money into space when we need it for so many things here on earth." The money that runs the space program doesn't go into space. It stays here on earth and pours straight into the US economy. And it does that whether the space shot succeeds or fails, which seems like a pretty good deal. But don't get me started on a rant.

Should Canada spend millions of dollars on space exploration then on healthcar education and technology?
Spending money on space exploration *is* investing in technology. You wouldn't have your computer today if NASA hadn't begun the search for smaller computers and electronics. None of that money goes to space, it is all spent down here, and the tech spinoff stays here too. How many millions of lives have been saved by, for example, accurate storm and hurricane tracking via satellites? And that is just one of many examples of how the investment has paid off many times over.
