What the hell are we going to achieve by going to moon. Let us provide for free and quality education to all upto school final Let us ensure proper basic amenities, good roads and other infrastructure facilties for all first Scrap unfruitful investments immediately. Let us do all things to reduce disparity of living standards and faciltites among people and set forth to bring more equality in terms of status.

See the energy cruch today. The fossil fuels are not going to last too long. Such missions are undertaken by various countries to assess whether such fuel exists on moon or other planets. Similar activities are done to antarctica as well. So keeping our future energy demand in mind such missions are necessary. It is a great job done by our scientists and We all are pround of them. I agree with u that our priorities should be different but not at the cost of scientific research. Similar can be said about our defence expenditue. It is mandetory. We can not avoid it specially when we have China and Pakistan as our neighbours. We should try and reduce corruption for e.g. bad quality roads built in first place and repaired again and again. It is a trap. So we should try and release such money (un-necessary expenditure) and develop the country's infrastructure.

Your second part makes some sense but the first part absolute bulls*hit. Sorry for being rude my freind but that what it is.
I can agree for antartica but can tell one thing for sure, no space exploration is done for look out for fuel. How do you think that can be brought back to earth and do you think even if uranium is found it can be just dug up and brought back without processing or will anything will make a economic sense. Think again.

the time will tell who is correct and when countries can send so many space shuttles and bring them back successfully on earth... why cant fuel?

People usually laugh when they dont believe. What you think... those who have predicted that you can watch a match played on other part of the world can be seen live on a screen may be 100 years back... people must have laughed.... I am sure.... but.... isnt it a reality? So nothing is impossible my dear friend

When Columbus & Vasco da Gama attempted to find a sea route to India lots of people laughed at them. And the journey they had was terrible, lot of people died and it was very expensive. But looking back, can you think how this world would have been unless a few courageous souls took such risks?
