Rather than having WikiAnswers start out on the defensive, we invite the questioner
to come back and outline his case for space exploration being a waste of money,
whereupon we can refute his points individually and more effectively.

Space exploration is not inherently bad, but some may argue that the resources and funding used for space exploration could be better allocated to addressing urgent issues on Earth such as poverty, healthcare, and climate change. Additionally, there are concerns about the environmental impact of space missions and the potential for orbital debris to endanger satellites and future space missions.
In 2006, an estimated $37.46 billion was spent worldwide on space exploration initiatives. This included expenses from various space agencies, private companies, and research institutions involved in space exploration activities.

During the race to the moon, the government spent massive amounts on space exploration. Today, it is no longer a government priority, so funding for space exploration has decreased. Yet, NASA continues to work on new projects. Currently, however, space exploration is moving further toward the private sector. Companies like Space-X will soon dominate space exploration, and companies that make money expand rapidly.

There are many people that believe that space exploration is a misuse of money. These people feel that the money could be better used for medicine for example.
