Come on ... it's not that bad.
You could say the same when money is spent to just about anything.
When you go to a restaurant you could save that money and forward it to Red Cross - twenty kids would be vaccinated on that money and their lives would be saved.
You could skip a vacation and the money saved could save a couple of villages in Africa.
Why spend money on just about any exploration? A huge pile of money would saved and used to help poor people on Brazil.
etc. etc.
I say: Godspeed, John Glenn!
