Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

Winona concludes that it's "absurd" for Inez to justify funding space-exploration programs by claiming they will lead to technological advances with practical applications. Winona supports this by saying that if practical technology is the goal, it should be funded directly.

Describe Method of Reasoning

Winona counters Inez’s argument by pointing out that the goal of practical technology can be pursued without funding space-exploration programs.
