So far, as usual "we" have found that this armed gang coerced $5+ Billion more from their victims for another fool's errand to benefit rather few space cadets and government cronies.

I recently learned about the Europa Clipper Mission, which will closely map Jupiter's moon Europa and look for signs of life within the vast ocean beneath its surface. It's such an exciting time to be alive: SpaceX's incredible launches and landings, the James Webb Space Telescope, various moon missions... I can't wait to see what "we" find. A little bit of patience is needed though, at least for the Clipper Mission. We'll only receive data from the probe by 2031.
Here is the Veritasium video, detailing the mission:

That's a fair point. I still believe that exploring space is a worthwhile endeavor for humanity, though as you point out it shouldn't come out of the pockets of taxpayers. That's why I appreciate SpaceX, which can launch and explore at a fraction of a cost, without stealing from citizens.
#SpaceX was the launch contractor for that "mission", and remains sustainable by doing numerous launches funded by NASA bureaucracy pilfering Americans through their owners in Warshington.
If it's a worthwhile endeavour for humans, I'm sure millions of space cadets worldwide would voluntarily fund any errand to any Uranus.
Since they don't clamour to do ANY voluntary crowdfunding, it's clearly not worthwhile to them.
Instead, they celebrate generations of Americans being looted for their entertainment and local MI Complex enrichment.
