James Webb space telescope. 10 billion dollars, wasted in space.

[52ndStreet]

I hear that the James Webb space telescope cost 10 billion dollars to make. When will this throwing money away on these space projects end.? We keeps spending money on these Mars rovers, exploring a dead planet, now we have just wasted 10 billion dollars on this James Webb telescope. People are still starving here on Earth, in Afghanistan, and Ethiopia. When will this wasting money in insignificant space exploration going to end? Your thoughts.

My thoughts are that whatever gets us a step closer to getting off this rock is a good investment in the survival of the human species.

Where are we going?, we can not live on Mars, the atmosphere is to thin, and there is just to much radiation. Where are you going to live, there is nothing on the Moon, no water no air. What is this insane notion about going somewhere else other than the Earth?! Where are we going? and for what reason.? This space exploration is insane, and a waste of money, that could be better spent right here on Earth helping people on Earth that need help.

And if we'd given them $10 billion, there would still be starving people.

Was all.this wasted money done under Biden? How coincidental.

 

[Anomalism]

Only dumbasses want to stop investing in the exploration of the universe.

It's a big ol' universe. And until we can get out there in it, we can build colonies under the Moon's surface and habitats at the LaGrange points between the Earth and the Moon.

As it is, we're just one falling mountain away from extinction.

Any thoughts about climate change or that's bullshit in your eyes.

I'll give my thoughts about climate change in threads about climate change.

I know what your thoughts are but thought it a good opportunity to stick it up your nose again.

No
It is truly ground breaking and will add a whole new dimension to unraveling the universe

 

[Quasar44]

JW will see new wave lengths that the Hubble cannot

Santa's not going to be good to you, boy.

Oooooooh. Have you retired from telling lies to kids?

 

[daveman]

Oooooooh. Have you retired from telling lies to kids?

I've never lied to you.

 

[MisterBeale]

. . . well. ..

If it spots a planet destroying comet in time for us to do something about it?

I say it might be worth the investment.

There's another one.

I dont have a problem with exploring space with unmanned spacecraft but we really need to find out how we can reach speeds that will make real space travel possible.
If we cant crack that nut we aren't going anywhere.
I guess the other option would be suspended animation. But we aren't any closer to that then we are to breaking the speed of light.

 

[daveman]

There's another one.

You're not entitled to my time, boy. I ain't your father.

 

[52ndStreet]

Are some of you people reading what you are posting? "Suspended animation" "Speed of light"
"unravelling the universe" it all sounds crazy. How does all that quackery improve our lives here on the Earth.?Many of you grown people need to get your heads examined! We can not exist in space or on any world where there is no water or oxygen.!!

Why would we need to send a space probe to Afghanistan or Ethiopia? We can walk there.
