Even if that is true, and humans have a greater potential to find and adapt the unexpected, the absence of humans in the space program deprives it of anything symbolic and to which the masses may be able to relate. It will be even easier to cancel the space program and simply pour the funding into the endless pit of social services and entitlements IMO.

Sorry, but that’s not in the constitution.
