Then why would you go on the flight, if it wasn't
necessary for you or anyone else to do so?

You don't engage in any activities unless they are
necessary? What a sad life you must lead!

You need to answer the question given to you.

I would go because I want to go.

You shouldn't want to go on the flight. You have already
stated that such flights are unnecessary. Wanting to go on
the flight is not sufficient reason.

Maybe not for you. For me, it's everything.

For you, an opponent of manned space flight, it's an
insufficient reason. For those in favor of manned space flight
for that reason and other reasons, it is sufficient reason.

So you believe that you can define the opinions and values of
people other than yourself? You're sounding nearly as crazy as
the dead guy whose handle you took over.

But you're named Chris, and are therefore profoundly stupid (as
all Chris's are), and cannot possibly be right.

The side benefits from the space program, both manned and unmanned,
far, far exceed the costs. Entire industries exist because of it,
including a great deal of life-saving medical technology that would
never have happened without _manned_ space flight.

You will, of course, deny this (being named Chris, and therefore
profoundly stupid), thus proving I'm right.
