Recently a billionaire created headlines by sending a car into space. I don't quite understand his motives or what this achieved other than creating some very expensive space junk, but it got me thinking.
Do you think space exploration is worth the effort and cost, or do you think the money would be better spent solving problems here on earth?
If money was not a problem and you were offered the opportunity, would you like to travel into space? If it became a possibility, would you consider living on another planet?

Yes, I think it is worth it..at the rate we are going we will destroy this planet, and will need somewhere to go. Yes, I think it might even be possible to travel into space in my lifetime. I would be up for it!

If I will be given a chance to travel into space I will grab it for sure; but living in another planet is a different story unless I will not have any other choices.

Well, space exploration is important to the future of mankind because one day in the very distant future, more than a billion of years from now, Earth will be uninhabitable because the Sun will go into it's dying stages and become something different. Our Sun will become a red giant:
before this happens we should be living in outer space or, have found another planet as Earth is. The funding for space living and exploration is very important for when the Sun begins it's final stages Earth will be uninhabitable. Unfortunately space living safely, won't be in our lifetime for there is a lot of radiation out there in outer space yet, thus their bulky suits for protection. Don't worry, by the time it is needed, we'll be living something like Star Trek or better. 
Since the beginning of human history, people have understood that the sun is a central part of life as we know it. It's importance to countless mythological and cosmological systems across the globe is a testament to this. But as our understand of it matur

I think I already lived in another planet in my previous life .. because sometimes I don't understand why earthlings do what they do! ..

I think I am a bit too old for all this space travel stuff. Your post makes me think more of some lucky (or unlucky) person who might get hit suddenly one day by a car falling down from the sky.
