Strangly I can think of NO disadvantages of space exploration and loads of advantages.This PC I'm using to type a message to you for one.Without the space race our computers would have taken a lot longer to reduce down in size from the size of a whole ground floor to a desktop model.Also without the satellite system(courtesy of space exploration) we would have no TV,no mobile phones and no way to measure and explore the ravages of global warming,hurricanes and other catastrophic disasters.I am so thankful for non stick frying pans.
To compare what NASA does with the event of Hiroshima is somewhat ridiculous considering what benefits the whole world has derived from our forays into space.
However this is going wildly off topic so I suggest if you want to discuss this issue that we start another thread.
