Bush has his priorities a bit wrong thats all :-)
Anyway I find it hard to buy that we could go and live on the Moon. Theres that problem with no oxygen for a start. :-|

My point is that by furthering our exploration of space we can solve some of the problems with the world. It is possible to colonise new planets, but obviously that won't happen very soon. There are however resources on other planets that we could use, such as moon cement and the natural gas found on many planets.
If we don't find new materials soon, combined with the development of renewable energy sources, then we many never have the means to solve the problems on earth that you aptly highlighted.
