I would cast my vote whole-heartedly for basic/advanced research.
For research is indeed a key component in firing the mind and intellect.

But, beyond that we are not ready.
Instead of spending trillions upon billions of dollars, euro, or whatever currency you want to claim to leave the planet we should be taking a good hard look at ourselves, the human race.

Set aside our petty differences.
Direct these funds and all access towards eliminating world hunger, poverty and disease.

Once we have accomplished this, then and only then will we be truly worthy and justified in exploring space and worlds outside our own.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
