Would you rather your goverment spend tax money on exploring space or the bottom of the oceans?

I wish it would never be one or the other. We can explore both I think.
But perhaps it would be good to learn about earth as a whole before we try to master other worlds.
We may end up on a planet with oceans someday (we hope) and it would be nice to have the ability to explore those oceans completely when we arrive.

I would rather the government spend the money on cleaning the oceans, forcing non-conforming states to stop dumping waste in the ocean. Spending money on space exploration, is not all spent on exploration. Many useful scientific, medical, industrial discoveries and uses have been implimented, because of "space" exploration. Losing the KSC, and it's government back-up, has left a large portion of Fl. In peril. And not just finacially. All this comes after Obama, promising to keep the Space Center alive and running well.
