aleksm97··on Donald Trump signs directive to send astronauts back to Moon
Sorry English isn't my native tongue so I misinterpreted the second part, although it could be just because I'm a little slow on the pick up :v either was it's totally my fault.

https://www.wired.com/2014/02/happens-body-mars/ read up something on this topic. It's nice to imagine that we will soon be able to colonize Mars, but we are far from doing so and making the planet habitable for humans would take much more effort than to fix the one we already have, if the presents issues can be fixed we could lower defense spending and spending in other areas and then we could focus all that money into space exploration, but as things currently stand by multi-tasking we aren't exactly moving forward a whole lot.

Considering that they already spend about 700B$ on the defense budget it would probably not happen and they would find something else to spend the money on which isn't nearly as reasonable as combating present issues. Anyhow I'm neither a communist nor a advocate for the poor, it's just that these are the type of problems that could end as all, not just the poor nor the middle class, thus people should voice their opinion more about it. But it seems to me that from the moment the election has been decided/won no one get's a say in the matter aside from the people that got elected, now don't get me wrong as winners they should have every right to make the final decisions, but sometimes asking the general public on what issues the government needs to tackle next is more reasonable then the old "I don't care about your opinion, you lost the elections, now wait 4 years and try again!".

Instead of focusing our budget on resolving climate issues and pollution on our own planet, we somehow try to blow our money into space exploration. I get that it's a good thing to do in the long run, but until we fix the issues that are present around us, there won't be a long run.

The tasks are good, but I wish it was graded and you could list the top submissions by likes and speed etc. Something like codeforces where you can learn from the best by studying their code..
