Should NASA Send Astronauts On Voluntary One-Way M (Score:3, Informative)
Fact is, the "Age of Exploration" involved MANY men sailing farther away from home in terms of real support (opposite side of the world?) and many didn't return, including Magellan himself. They volunteered for various reasons: money, fame, employment, nothing better to do, loyalty to the monarch, etc. One could easily say space is that next "Age of Exploration."

NASA's budget is around $17b/yr.
So you're saying that Americans spend over $17 trillion every year on movies, music and sports?
Well, the annual movie revenue in the US is about $9 billion.
The annual expenditure on recorded music in the US is about $16 billion.
Annual revenue for US professional sports is about $25 billion.
That leaves $16.95 trillion in your imagination.
