Once again, you pretend I meant something I haven't said, I'll start to think you're doing that just for the sake of arguing.
I never said we were only exploring, nor that all of us had this tendency. Or that we were doing it all the time.
As for the budget for space exploration, I don't know where to start. Why limit the inclination to explore to space exploration budget? Why limit to any budget at all? Or why compare it to other occupations that have nothing to do with it?
A lot of wars are driven by the need to extend one's territory, and military budgets are far from small, just to allow for that or defend from it. You English people should know that better than anyone, by the way. How many countries all over the planet have been a colony or a dominion of the UK at some point? France, Portugal and Holland were not bad in that regard either.
