At the 21st century we should really put more effort in space faring research and technology space propulsion etc. or in information and AI?
If the balance dangerously dips in favor of one of the other this could determine the type of civilization we will become in the future. Seems to me that today information and AI is our choice to go and space faring and exploration is loosing.
Although I have a preference I will not express it here. I know that the views on these maybe are diverse and there is no consensus. But I am interested of what you think about?
NOTE: TO MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR...I DO NOT TAKE SITES HERE NEITHER SAY THAT ONE OF THE TWO IS BAD! THIS QUESTION ACTS MORE LIKE QUESTION POOL TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF CIVILIZATION DO YOU PREFER? If someone feels personally offended about the content of this question please feel free to say what specifically bothers you so I can fix it if your opposition is reasonable.
