Should the EU invest more heavily in its own space exploration and satellite programs?

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

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

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.

The EU should focus on other issues such as housing, homelessness, the climate crisis etc before focusing on space travel

When environmental issues have been more heavily dealt with

There are more pressing social issues that should be invested in first

No, there are more important things they should use my money on

complicated issue - but priority should be the people before we even discuss breaching the atmosphere

Yes, investing in satellite programs to expand access to Internet, etc. But not necessarily space exploration

No that money must be put to programmes that benefit people in the EU, the only person space exploration benefits is the rich.

not at the expense of the people. if you have money for space toys you have money to give people homes and food.

Yes in the esa but also I would very strongly support a domestic space agency I'm ireland ISA (irish space agency)

No, the better use of funding will be to invest in supercomputing to analyse the abundant information we already have access to.

I think the eu should be more worried about what's going on in the world. When that's done then worry about space

We should invest in satellite programmes but make sure to have a focus on the many problems down on our own planet

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.
