Does space still inspire you?

Gareth Lewis asks, as Briton Tim Peake blasts off, does flight still capture the imagination in the way it did when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon?

Just after 11 AM today, Tim Peake blasted off on a Russian Soyuz rocket, becoming the first official UK astronaut. He hopes that his journey will "inspire British children to aim for the stars". But do you think space flight still capture the imagination in the same way it did back when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon?
Or, do you think it's a waste of money? We have many problems here on planet earth. Maybe you don't think space is important enough at the moment?
