Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Back to the Moon
Last post by kruddler -Does anyone else see a manned trip to orbit the moon as indulgent? What are we hoping to achieve out of it?
I'm not sure what the project was greenlit off the back of, but the amount of things we've learned in the past are still finding new ways of benefitting us today.
Science will find 100's if not 1000's of benefits that will help in unimaginable ways.
Most of the time things like this happen it is to confirm previous suspicions or to help understand specific circumstances.
Whether or not is indulgent probably depends on your relationship to science.
Conversely, your relationship to the army and war (or lack of) may lead you to the conclusion that a nations defence is indulgent.
