What has space done for the advancement of society? Let's say... half.

Well, one thing your graduate program didn't teach you was critical reading skills because the tone of my posts was NOT "what did space travel ever do for me?" it was commenting on the fruitless and nihilist pursuit of founding other colonies in space which is utopia of many who support the space program. I know it's helped drive alot of technological development over the past 50 years. I am totally aware of its assistance in diverse fields from robotics to agriculture. My point still is that that advancement comes at a steep price that many do not acknowledge.
