He has shared an unpopular opinion which I’ve been almost afraid to let be known in public.
What if the major portion of the billions of dollars -- and scientific brain power -- that has gone into space exploration had been spent on disease research (cancer, AIDS, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis; the list is endless) and other earthly challenges?
What victories might we have achieved for those of us who live on this planet?
