Famine and poverty are still major issues in the world that should be dealt with first before serious effort can be thrown into space travel. We have a space station, but still have homeless people walking the streets of America. That's kinda ass backwards....

Agreed, but the amount of $$ being spent on programs like the "War on Poverty" and various social spending programs dwarfs the money being spent in the space program, and I'm sure the returns are not as good. I just hate that as a society we've got no problem spending millions on programs like "art therapy for the homeless" and midnight basketball but going to Mars is too expensive.
