Imagine how far space exploration would be at the moment if the U.S dedicated as much money as they do on wars/weapons/military. This gem of a project cost 2.5 billion; That's about as much as the U.S. is spending a year on ammunition and fuel in the dumb Iraq/Afghan wars.

@djgrekos are you retarded? it's called different fields of science. There's geology, there's oceanography, and there's the medical field for your whining interests. Not everyone is interested in your communistic interests so they chose to work in space technology.
