IF they waffle again, trump should cut their funding in half. Quoting: anonymous coward 60819577 He should any way. What have their billions brought us? The advancement of mankind? We got nothing on the moon. We got 2 immortal robots on mars poking at the dirt. We got tin cans floating out passed the solar system. All for what? To tell us, yep, we're thoroughly trapped here. The big shit is always 10 or more years away. It has been since I was a tiny boy. By the time we reach the end, the goal post is moved, all the while neither goal was ever met or even shown to be possible. We got satellites competing with high speed under water cables. The satellites only last 5 or 10 years then burn up. If they don't blow up on the way into orbit. They are wasting our money on fake useless science that isn't benefiting anyone outside of their own theorists and money grubbers. But hey, maybe that rock 2.5 to 4.5 billion miles away is a planet. A few more billion should end the debate... in about 10 years. |

Of course, that leaves a lot of things labeled planets that clearly aren't, like moons and brown dwarfs. Quoting: Earth420 [link to www.newschannel5.com] And neutron stars and a lot of black holes. And Sputnik, for that matter. Plus any microscopic liquid droplets, of course - they're definitely smaller than stars, and certainly round. Yep, I'm convinced. |
