We all see things differently. Honestly if we look at this question, and answer it with an uneducated mind, feeding the world with the intended fund to explore the space would be our resolution. Whereas, it's beyond ordinary sympathy for people's basic necessities.
Besides, NASA is not the reason people are going hungry. It seems we are not looking closely at our various political system. The corruption, mismanagement and misappropriation of fund, diversion of public fund into private projects and so on should be the major concern.
Space exploration is a project that is embarked on to save the world. We are all cheering about the improvement in our technologies. We all benefit from it and all these cannot be achieved without going an extra mile. There are many natural resources in the màrs that is yet to be discovered. We are not going there to relax or have fun. Its all for the good of the people. Sooner or later this planet will run out of some basic things for survival. Is that when we will start running helter skelter for a way to survive? It is not a news that environmental degradation is already an issue. In few years the case will be worse. Which way out? Let's plan ahead. I'm not saying it is good for people to die of hunger but the question is ; Is it the fund dedicated for space exploration that the hungry people need to survive? Affirmatively No. Please don't let's mix things up. These are two different entities.
This is the fact : No one can halt the journey of intellectual discoveries, so please let's keep the drama out of the question and think as reasonable people.
