1. In general, is the investment in space exploration "worth it?"
No, it's too expensive. The Space Race is over and we won. We must stop using public dollars to fund these journeys to some planet, it is a waste of government funds and a tax burden.
2. Is NASA doing a good job?
No, it needs to be privatised.
3. Do you see China as a threat, both short- and long-term?
China is no threat. It is just some Communist nation that sent a man in space decades after we did. We defeated one Communist nation (the late USSR) and we crushed it into dust. China is and never will be a threat.
4. Viability of the ISS, Space Shuttles, Moon Base, Mars Landing, Bush's plans etc.
The Moon Base will take billions, if not trillions, to build and billion to maintain. It will come out of the people's pockets. The Space Shuttles should be privatised along with NASA. Bush's Plan is foolish. We need to save our money, not use it to go to Mars. We have problems here on Earth that must be addressed. $10 Billion to go to Mars is way too much. It is another tax burden on our hard working citizens.
