Why do you think space exploration is a waste of money?

The space industry as it stands now is still a chemical energy supplyed by the petrolium economy.There are better ways of doing it.If we use those ways,then energy systems will be exposed that will curtail the emergency economy that the oil cartels suppress us with.History is about arrested development,robing and killing the good and peacefull guys then taking credit for what is left.We can not sustain a chemically based space program.
