Space Travel or Mental Health?

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

This quote raises some questions on an important topic. Mental Health. I honestly think that Mental Health is more important right now, but in the long run space travel will probably be more important. I think this because the world is slowly dying. We are slowly killing our home, and nobody can deny that. So I think that space travel is important because we need to find another planet to continue life normally. But on the other hand, mental health is super important because depression and anxiety and all of the other bad mental diseases/disorders are absolutely horrible and people need help. So I think that as of this moment we Americans should be working more on mental health. That's just my personal opinion.
