Vote and discuss chaotically.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

The greatest achievement of man is Big Trouble in Little China.

Its a reflection of our greatest failure; the inability to solve basic problems of mankind

Exploring vagina was the greatest achievement of man.

To me, there is little if anything that holds more substance and importance than the study of the universe and pushing the boundaries on what we understand of the fabric of reality itself. Space exploration plays a rather fundamental role in that.

We haven't even grasped the concept of maintaining our own planet. Maybe pump the funds into....our planet...food.....housing for all....before we take pictures of pluto? I dunno....call me crazy.....

Grasping a concept and carrying it out are two different realities. Why would we need to carry out what we know we should do in order to carry out what we aspire to do? Feeding the hungry doesn't get in the way of exploring space. Shit most people on this forum probably aren't thinking about the hungry when they are exploring the space in their heads... Kind of a buzzkill to be honest...

Taking on these ambitious projects advances engineering especially, but many other fields as well. Gravity Probe B required the most perfect spheres ever manufactured. You don't think some innovation was required for the project? That's just one example.

Greatest achievement of man was the invention of bacon, steaks, ribs, brisket, grilling, smoking and BBQ sauce.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Did you know that the amount of money that goes into NASA funding equates to less than one half of one percent of the annual US budget. 0.48% IIRC.
You have a long list of other things to complain about being wastes of money before you can start pointing the finger at a field of science that on top of all else, inspires innovation (which in turn is good for economy), acts a part of the process of science that helps us to advance in other areas, reminds us of our place in the universe and our need to preserve our planet and marks some of mankind's most admirable achievements. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

If I blew all my money on theories and hopes, I'd be one hungry motherfucker. I tried that.
Space is a waste. The digger we deep, the less we maintain and forget about.
Science went too far years and years ago, and now the US is just prescription pill ads and dimwits who never even study and damn thing because it changes every 2 years.
I gave up on it completely. Wondering. Getting excited for close ups of rocks light years away. I just go on hikes through the woods and relax when I can. When I think about space my mind damn near pops.
And yes when I trip I think about starving people. Buzzkill? How is it a buzzkill to eat a psychedelic and feel the souls of the hurt.....to feel the pain and walk in others shows proverbially? I guess I am getting out of touch....but most psyches, especially real lsd 25 and mushrooms and mescaline....remind me of how little I am doing within my own life, and forget about the grand scheme.

It's really sad how prevalent anti-intellectual and anti-science sentiment is.

science is like church. Extremists bickering over possibilities making things up as they go along, changing what they already made up to make it sound logical and real.
I don't negate science. I don't negate church. I don't invest in either.

And of course my intellect gets insulted for having an opinion on a matter. Typical.

The body of scientific knowledge changes because it is inherently self-correcting and changes as new knowledge is discovered, not because they're randomly making shit up. That's the entire point of it.

Aren't we having a science debate right now? If I was anti science I would've just over looked this entire thread. I'm giving you my opinion on it, how I see it.
I think it's a waste more times than not.....and most of it is theory, which is why it is changing constantly, because another nutcase debunks some other nutcases theory.
To think for a second we could honestly figure it all out is foolish. We can't even figure out how to have a whole planet unite......yet we are pumping money into shooting monkeys into space to die?

Pluto is not light years away. It's about four light hours. There are no close ups of anything light years away.
