What are they thinking?

Has everyone heard of the space capsule with the comet dust in it. I saw in the paper today that they are hopeing to find out how the solar system was formed. I dont see why this is such a big deal as it is made out to be. What good could come out of this? The paper said that this was a 212 million dollar project. With all the problems in the world today why would anybody want to study this. There has to be a better way to spend that kind of money and research time than on this crap. People are living on the streets, children are suffering all over the world and they want to study dust. We cant find a cure for cancer or help the elderly pay for their meds. but we'll spend years and millions looking at dust. I know everyone has different beliefs thats what this country is about, freedom. It used to be in God we trust, if that was the case then why are we trying to find out how the solar system was formed. In the Bible it says that God created the earth and the heavens. Thats enough for me. I just dont see why this kind of money and time cant be spent on something of more importance to the human race. If people believe that all this was created by the big bang than fine, believe what you want. But lets take time and help the world we live in. I dont want my child to grow up in a world full of all the bad while idiots are trying to find out where the solar system came from. I think this much money and research should be used in finding cures for cancer, MD, and helping fight the homeless problem in this country. Stuff like that would make the world my child has to grow up in better not studying how the solar system was made.
