The technology spin off from our space efforts give us the means to deal effectively with a lot of our earth-bound problems, from population issues to agriculture to pollution (whether or not we're *doing* that is a political issue, but much of the means and solutions are there, because of the technology). We wouldn't even be having this conversation electronically were microchips not spin-off from going to the moon.
I think its possible to do space *and* preserve the earth. But then, I'm a science fiction novelist, too.
