How did people thumb this up
The space shuttle looking similar doesn't mean they haven't put billions of dollars of improvement into the space program

I remember the early space days when Vger went homicidal on some space fleets.

if it aint broke, don't fix it.
seriously though, nasa spends a lot on research, so while the shuttle might looks somewhat similar, there's many differences in terms of materials and equipment and softwares.

Technology advances exponentially. Meaning every 30 years, processing power increases ~1 billion fold. The smart phones we carry around in our pockets today are more powerful than the most advanced mainframe computers, which took up entire office building floors, back in the early 1980s.
Imagine what our kids will play with in 2042 :)

Actually the money going towards NASA is shit so they really haven't been able to research into much else
Yeah you are right, NASA wouldn't be bringing back any economic value from space...
A government isn't looking for knowledge, it is looking for power and wealth for it's people (or in more corrupt governments for its own officials), not for the entire human race.

If military power were the only motivator then funding a space age would be a top priority. A military hold in space would be invaluable. Why slap our cocks around down here with bullets and rockets to kill people when we could be the first to build a death star. Sure, the laser won't destroy cities, but how can you fight something in space?
I think you meant hydrogen, as in hydrogen fuel cells, which are great in cars because the only byproduct they release is water. The only thing I know about H3O is that it gives acids their qualities and is present in all acidic substances in aqueous solutions.
it'd be really cool if we found water on mars though. Then we could start Terra-forming the planet and the extra space would definitely be valuable. But of course it's damn near impossible for humans to think of the long-term benefits of something with our terribly short life-spans.
