"We can shoot rockets into space, but we can't cure anger or discontent." -John Steinbeck

    I feel as if Americans should invest more into mental health than space travel because of importance. I believe that the mental state of a human is far more important than getting someone onto a different planet. Space travel doesn't affect anyone's way of living. It could be important to someone because it is their career or they just find it fascinating, but that doesn't affect the way we live. While mental health is something that is priority in people's lives. If someone has bad mental health and doesn't enjoy their time on earth, that could be a major issue for them and the people around them.
