Yes, as well the should. Space exploration is not such a waste when you consider that many common and useful technologies have come from it. And the tech that will be needed for Mars with DEFINITELY help the world.

Advanced hydroponics, for instance would allow for higher food crop yields from smaller spaces (thing of farm skyscrapers or orbital crop fields). It will also help advance alternative energy research as things like better solar panels would need to be developed. And wouldn't it be nice to move resource mining off planet where we could eventually mine asteroids instead of Earth?

Just for the record: The only Doctor Who that I have ever watched is during the Tom Baker-era.


Wow! That was a lot of markup.
