What are the benefits of space exploration?

Money invested in space exploration creates jobs in the space and technology industries, allows for creating new technologies for citizens (GPS) and medical research (arthritis), and allows scientists to perform research and gather data from planetary resources.

Money invested in space exploration comes from wealthy investors who seek to make a profit once life is discovered on another planet.

Money invested in space exploration is marked only for space travel and is not used to fund research and creating new technological devices.
