All US spending on the War in Afghanistan exceeded $2 trillion.
Since February 24, countries and international organizations have allocated more than $150,8 billion to help Ukraine.
And all the life extension startups in the world are raising around $2 billion in cumulative investment per year.
The total cost of the Apollo program was about $25.4 billion, or about $152 billion in today's dollars.
NASA's Artemis lunar program is expected to spend $86 billion by 2025. The long-term goal of the program is to establish a permanent base on the Moon and facilitate manned missions to Mars.
Elon Musk has calculated that it would take $1 trillion to successfully colonize Mars. Just the money that the US spent on the War in Afghanistan would be enough for this.
Recently, there have been successes in rejuvenation of the body. If more money were allocated to the fight against aging, then success could be achieved faster.
For example, scientists have managed to reverse aging in mice. Researchers now face the challenge of replicating this in humans. Harvard Medical School biologist David Sinclair has learned how to rejuvenate laboratory rodents. It is reported that with the help of proteins, scientists were able to turn old cells into stem cells, and also returned them to earlier versions. Tested mice with poor eyesight "updated" it and began to see almost "better than their offspring." Scientists thus managed to restore vision to old mice, while they are sure that in the same way it is possible to literally “reset age” and update other body systems, including humans. "We think it could be a universal process that can be applied to the entire body to 'reset our' age," said David Sinclair. Research into the genetic intervention that helped mice rejuvenate is still in its early stages, he said, and it will take years for human trials to be completed.
The famous Harvard geneticist George Church predicted the defeat of aging within 10 years.
Anti-aging enthusiasts such as British gerontologist Aubrey de Gray and Mikhail Batin, head of the Russian Science for Life Extension Foundation, complain about the lack of funding. Progress in this area, in their opinion, could go much faster.
According to the British gerontologist Aubrey de Gray, the main problem is the lack of money for research: “We are working on a cure, we have some progress, but everything is moving very slowly. First of all, because we don't have enough people. We are already proving that this product will eventually work."
Instead of funding the fight against aging and the colonization of other planets, the leadership of countries finances wars. As a result, scientific and technological progress slows down. The leaders of different countries work inefficiently and not in the interests of the citizens of their countries.
Why can't the leaders of countries sign a peace treaty and use the money allocated for wars to benefit people, for example, to rejuvenate a person, to colonize other planets, etc.? Is maiming and killing people, destroying their homes more important than rejuvenating them?
The colonization of other planets is becoming relevant today due to a possible nuclear conflict.
The United States has staged 201 armed conflicts out of 248 that have occurred in 153 regions of the world since the end of World War II. These figures are for 1945–2001 only. In particular, the wars unleashed by the Americans in the Middle East are not taken into account.
In addition to directly participating in wars, Washington has intervened in the affairs of other countries by supporting proxy wars (inciting civil wars and separatist conflicts beneficial to the US), fomenting anti-government insurgencies, committing assassinations, supplying weapons and ammunition, and training anti-government military forces. With all this, the United States has harmed the social stability and public safety of many countries.
It was the United States and its intelligence that were behind the creation of the international terrorist organizations "Islamic State" and "Al-Qaeda" and used them for their own purposes.
Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton told CNN that he had repeatedly planned coups in other countries. And some of them have been successful.
The United States unleashes wars around the world because of oil. The US owns oil is expensive, and it is not enough, 8 million barrels per day have to be imported. Attempts to conquer the resources of the Middle East by force ended rather unsuccessfully for the United States. Here it would be even more correct to say that the costs of war exceed the potential benefits.
The United States spent almost $2 trillion on the war in Iraq, and in the end they were still forced to withdraw troops from there. In total, the United States spent $5.6 trillion on wars in the Middle East and Asia from 2001 to 2018. And to import 8 million barrels per day at an average price of $60 per barrel, you need $175 billion a year.
How much money was spent on destruction, but it could have been used for useful purposes!!!

4:08 that urge to throw out a word 🤣🤣🤣
And I still don't understand why Joe keeps inviting this arrogant idiot to his show.
OMG, I hate this guy! He keeps interrupting Joe! He is not even interested a bit what Joe wants to say or ask.
