No More Space Race

The time has come to end the space race until
 we are done with this earthly place. What use
 is it to go to the moon when nuclear war seems 
to be coming soon?

There are so many other things that need to be
done, like us all learning to get along and have 
more fun.  Like eliminating  homelessness and 
poverty; like studying human behavior throughout
 history; like putting an end to starvation; like
 finding love and peace in every nation.

Like ending war and human conflict, 
By putting it to history books and reading 
about it. Like raising our children properly 
so that they can have a great future 
that they can live and see.

Try studying the mistakes in history, 
separating the lies from fantasy. Science
should be used to heal the body and soul,
to find cures and treatments that stops 
 the body before it gets to old.

 There's no place for man in space without no oxygen, 
no water or food; its all simply a waste. Let's stop 
being idiots and fools; let's  build homes hopitals 
and medicine that heal tools and schools.
