Con ~ Round 1

i think we should not because its a waste of time. 20 yrs ago all that was in space was dirt and rocks and 20 yrs later its gnna be the smae thing. so it technically is piontlesss to explore an open black space that goes on forever and its wasting billions of our tax dollars that we have a right to. space exploration is over rated its dirt, rock, and more dirt..

Pro ~ Round 1

Yax Money. Now theres one I havn't heard about yet. I'll overlook it and assume by "Yax Money" you mean "Tax Money".

You did not define any of the words with multible meanings so I will.
Tax = a financial charge or other levy imposed on an individual or a legal entity by a state or a functional equivalent of a state.
By "space" I am going to assume you mean "outer space" or the vast area outside our planet and beyond our atmosphere.

You say that Space exploration is a "waste of time". Give me proof that it is a waste of time. Sure, there have obviously been failed missions, but nothing is ever perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Even "Yax Money" has its failings. Do you consider landing on the moon a waste of time? We are destroying the earth we have at a rapid pace (http://science.nationalgeographic.com/... or watch the film "an inconvienient truth") and humans may have to leave this planet and move to another in the distant future. If we knew nothing about space, how would we make the move?

"20 yrs ago all that was in space was dirt and rocks and 20 yrs later its gnna be the smae thing".
You are forgetting that Outer Space is not composed of simply dirt and rocks. It is composed also of gases, minerals and light, fire and perhaps even ice http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/...
There are also planets, made of gas, or rocks and minerals(http://www.qrg.northwestern.edu/...), stars, moons, and there is even a great black hole (http://en.wikipedia.org/...). So as you can see your argument about Space containing only dirt and rocks is completly bogus.

It isn't "technically pointless" to explore an "open black space" when I have proven it otherwise. The universe holds so many secrets yet to explore, there may even be life outside earth. The problem is we dont know if there is or not. So we must explore, to find out and to understand. Exploring the universe may hold some answers to the problems we have here.

Yes, Space Travel is expensive, but it is in the millions, not the billions as you previously said. (http://www.nasa.gov/...) you are wrong about it costing "billions"

"space exploration is over rated its dirt, rock, and more dirt.."
I have previously disproven the above statement. "Dirt, rock and more dirt" is not an accurate description of the makeup of space.
