I don't think so. I'm not an expert by any means, but knowledge is power. Who knows what possibilities it may unravel.

I believe we have to protect our space from it being used for evil(China) but that’s all the money should be allocated for.

im no expert either but I could name many things that that money could be used for here on earth that would better humanity.  
now if we want to create some type of facility on Mars for all the murderers rapist sex offenders etc then I’m down for that

I don't want the government confiscating money from me to better humanity, the best way "extra" funds should be allocated to better humanity is to leave it in the taxpayer's pocket and not take it at all.

The thought of government taking unallocated taxes and deciding how best to spend it makes me sick.

Now, back to space before the "you're off topic" police show up, lol.

I saw where you were coming from, no worries.

I believe we have benefitted with innovations tied to the space industry, but we should let the competitiveness of the private sector drive it now.

Well, right, Kennedy did promise before the end of the decade that we'd be there.
