Pft. I ain't buying it. Know why? There ain't no damn moon! It's all a hoax by those Jewish bankers trying to manipulate the results of American Idol. Them, or the NHK. Same diff.
@Jrsy Devil's Bright Idea®: I think they reported some ambiguous results that seemed to indicate the possibility of water. These results were done to try to verify that, because it was just a hint before.
@emcdannell09: It's given us a spectacular and humbling experience, but aside from that and memory foam (a good night's sleep IS worth billions of dollars), it's not about what it HAS done for us.
It's about what it WILL do for us. Space holds more promise for the human race than you could possibly imagine. Aside from being the key to unlocking answers to age old questions, space is our future. We HAVE to expand if we wish to survive as a race.
We can't stay on Earth forever, and while that may seem like a far-off argument... it makes sense. We need to prepare ourselves for a future that you and I will never see.
The argument in Pale Blue Dot for those unaffected by trifling concerns such as glory or wonder is the "All Eggs, One Basket" concern. Boils it down to pure selfish pragmatism. Which is what motivates most people.
oh, and if i remember correctly -- this camera should have had some footage of GitEm's butt-crack on it. i mention that as i believe it pertains to the camera's durability.

But how much do you water your plants when it's already raining enough to fill up a watering can? haha #adropofwater

I'd bet you we've spent way more on the war in Iraq in the past decade than we have on the entire space program.
Lawn-care is a 50 billion dollar industry.
The Space Program produces AMAZING feats of Man-kind, teaches us about the world around us, and prepares us for the future.
You sir, are an asshole, and a troll.

Indeed, Carl Sagan is a God amongst men.
Unfortunately, as Carl Sagan once said, sheer awe and wonder at the glory of space exploration simply isn't a factor for some people.
We can't use it as a primary reason for spending billions of dollars :(

Yeah, I know, but I'm kinda touchy when it comes to space travel. / :
