Funding for space exploration

[Randy]

Should space exploration be publicly funded?

Yes, understanding what else is out there is important. Publicly funding space exploration as well as privately funding it would only serve to advance the rate in which we would be able to explore space. Understanding the great unknown is exciting and the knowledge that is to be gained can't be ignored or overlooked. All possible funding sources should be utilized in order to further our understanding of things this great. Simply relying on private funding would slow our ability to explore space significantly.

I think it is important but we need to focus on ourselves here on Earth before anything else.
