It's because of the poll on the episode. I guess Keith couldn't think of any other poll for this episode. So that's why. |

Also some of the technology we use to try to help people get food and water in areas that aren't typically accessible has also benefited from the research the space program has done. As someone mentioned before, I believe that the space technology we develop will eventually be key to the survival of the human race (either travel to other planets or allowing us to reverse the negative effects we've caused already on Earth) and if we stop advancing space technology and the day comes where we can no longer survive on earth then the whole race is screwed. |

Givewell has vetted various charities that provide legit support for health care in Nepal, microloans for women in Africa, education in India... and the big causes that are most efficiently helped by money are eliminating malaria and worms in mostly children in Africa. Microloans are especially good at helping women and others get out from under oppressive situations. I know not every problem can be simply dealt with. But for some of them, it IS simply a matter of more money needed to keep a proven system of helping going. Quote:

Also, I really feel it's possible that lots of humans will blow each other up nuclear-style with new technologies (that might stem from the space race) and we could essentially uninhabit the earth way before it has a chance to do it to us. Not saying it's not good to try things. Good luck, space scientists! I hope you don't destroy us all. Probably you won't, I'm an optimist! And especially if an asteroid comes and a real life Bruce Willis can stop it, or something like that, I'm on board. (Conceptually, not actually on board the ship that stops it. I'm not Bruce Willis. But I do like saying "Yippie ki-yay.") Did I say all the things? In conclusion, space exploration seems reasonable but there are a lot of unknowns, and on earth there are places money can help and there are a lot more knowns and hopefully more easily fixables. |

In conclusion, I agree that could have been an interesting poll. Couldn't have done it without you! You said a nice thing, I said a thing back. We all win! Quote:
We all tie! At winning! |
