Journal nightcats's Journal: LHC or Mars?
The Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, is, frankly, rather ugly. It doesnâ(TM)t fly, takes no glorious pictures of space, has no âoeone small step for manâ quote-book, and doesnâ(TM)t send us cool rocks. You canâ(TM)t drive a space car on the LHC, and youâ(TM)d better not go anywhere near it with a golf club. The LHC lacks all the beautiful theater and heavy-breathing drama of American space travel. But the fact is that manned interplanetary travel, with the technology available now, would be fairly banal in its practical revelations; just as landing on the Moon was really more an assertion of Americaâ(TM)s scientific alpha-dog status than a genuine exercise in an even mildly revolutionary scientific understanding.
