While scientists say this is such a huge feat, with millions to billions of dollars spent on such machinary you would think these things would last for more than 90 days. Also with all of the people working on one project could they miss something to be so dentrimental to the operation?
While it may be good exploring other planets, I still do not see why we put so much funding into it. With the US debt only rising shouldn't we consider utilizing some of that money to pay off national debt. Thinking about it in a personal expense if we have a ton of debt could we still take most of our incomes and build new toys to play around with?
I think this is interesting nonetheless but we should really look at our own economy instead of exploring planets with millions apon billions of dollars.
