quite reasonable, but there are some things that can not be properly justified before suitable time. we know that our governments are spending trillions of dollars on space exploration. frankly, it hardly has any short term benefits, but for the long term ones, well, its all worth the pain. you never come to know, but outside the safe boundaries of our planet are probably trillions of undetected threats. i hope you can recall the way dinosaurs died. researches claim, that the main reason behind their extinction was an asteroid collision. so, in a way, we need astronomy and in depth understanding of the universe around us so as to keep humans from extinction. another thing well, is that you never know where your research helps you. even in the pasts, the kings used to spend a large part of their treasury for research whose benefits we are enjoying now. so whatever you spend today may not come back to you in your life time but it certainly will to your future generations.
