What are the views about the cost and value of sending spacecraft to explore the solar system?

We Answered:

i could tell you my views - that the cost is a pittance in the grand scheme of things, and it's money well-spent - but i think your teacher wants *your* views. what do you think?

Patsy Said:

How much do each of these cost?

We Answered:

To use a solar system in your home you will have to first figure out with a professional your average monthly usage (by answering a questionaire about your lifestyle), then your panels will be recommended, then you will need batteries for storage, and an inverter so you can use the power from the batteries throughout your home. Price will totally depend on your needs.
