Increased investment in space exploration could boost technological innovation and strategic independence. Proponents see it as advancing scientific knowledge and economic potential. Opponents question the priority and cost effectiveness compared to earthbound issues.

More Important things here on Earth should be sorted out first and should only be considered if certain programs benefited the people of Europe in a meaningful way
@9Z979SP3wks3W
I think that any investment into space programmes should also be offset by investment into public causes, e.g. healthcare, housing
There are other things I care about and this one is on the bottom of my list to be completely honest.
@9YMGX383wks3W
The EU should focus on other issues such as housing, homelessness, the climate crisis etc before focusing on space travel
@9MFPRF37mos7MO
When environmental issues have been more heavily dealt with
@9M966WMSocial Democrats7mos7MO
There are more pressing social issues that should be invested in first
@9M8SPRG7mos7MO
No, there are more important things they should use my money on
@9ZCX44J2wks2W
complicated issue - but priority should be the people before we even discuss breaching the atmosphere
@9ZCWNPC2wks2W
Yes, investing in satellite programs to expand access to Internet, etc. But not necessarily space exploration
@9ZCTZV62wks2W
No that money must be put to programmes that benefit people in the EU, the only person space exploration benefits is the rich.
@9ZCN6K82wks2W
not at the expense of the people. if you have money for space toys you have money to give people homes and food.
@9WJLB7J1mo1MO
Yes in the esa but also I would very strongly support a domestic space agency I'm ireland ISA (irish space agency)
@9NWRGS2Social Democrats6mos6MO
No, the better use of funding will be to invest in supercomputing to analyse the abundant information we already have access to.
@9NPRC8X6mos6MO
I think the eu should be more worried about what's going on in the world. When that's done then worry about space
@9NMGQG2PBB Solidarity6mos6MO
We should invest in satellite programmes but make sure to have a focus on the many problems down on our own planet
@9NLLGK46mos6MO
With the James Webb telescope, investment in supercomputers to parse the large amount of information is probably a better investment. As for satellites, I have no opinion.
@9ZT5HRC4hrs4H
No, I think for now there is huge crises in the EU, as interesting as space is- we need to deal with what is going on here first. The climate crisis, suicide epidemic, homelessness
