@8M3N9NW4yrs4Y
yes, but we should focus more on saving the earth than space
@4Z5RZ4P4yrs4Y
I believe as a planet, humanity should come together to work on a very big and potentially expansive project, one not meant for colonization, but more so for exploration.
I believe a station should be built (looking much like the death star) that contains multiple habitats, buildings, etc. to house the human race and all known life forms on earth in its genetic and physical make-up, and we should go out, explore the many different planets to discover other intelligent life to learn what we can from them, to expand our own intelligence and understanding of the universe.
@96259PT2yrs2Y
No, because we should focus on saving the Earth instead of leaving it and also NASA has also admitted that it's space programs and travels have been a falsification for years.
@8CVTXN44yrs4Y
NASA should support private business like SpaceX
@9D6CQ8N1yr1Y
Yes, for now. Understanding the effects being in space has on humans is important and we should collectively pursue learning more about it. But we should be moving toward a model that allows private entities making space efforts more commercially viable.
@9D5XBHH1yr1Y
No, because we should focus on saving the Earth instead of leaving it and NASA's space programs and travels have been a falsification for years.

Yes, and let private companies be free to do the same.
