(NASA TV) Phoenix Mars Mission: Entry, Descent and Landing

17 billion dollars is 2.73% of 623 billion...idk where you got 0.58%. But besides that, I do agree with you. I'm a huge outer space fanatic and i love exploring more about it.

F**k your problems and stupid ass little problems people have on earth...S**t is useless to work on fixing poverty or crime, its NEVER gonna end anyway

really thats alot of money spent if you arent gonna do something that would benefit anything

Go science!

maybe all the money can be used to solve problems closer to home like poverty..just an idea..of course space exploration is important too..

2009,2011, Oh wait 2015
Sorry we need more money for military budget
lol

lol deep space

put its liek this, the fastest way possible is when you have huge competition between 2 big nations, basically u want a war that will not turn into accualy coflict ie, cold war.

I agree we are spending too much more to kill each other than exploring our solar system which WILL save life on earth in the future.

Imagine when we found Hitlers rocket we forgot about them and a comet was coming towards the earth what would we do? Investigation on how to destroy comets have already started.

PS - It is not easy cause when you blow it up all those little peaces would do more damage.

Ex astris, scientia.

Kosmos jest piękny

USA military budget $623 billion (est.)
NASA (funding by US)$17 billion (est.)
NASA's funding is about 0.58% of the total US anual budget!
So people who seriously think that these money should be spent on something else is just whining! Space is our future, we should even make the funding larger!

So when are they doing this S**t ? Because i'm gettin sick of all the talk

There are only 2 ways to advance in science and tech:

1. By war and killing (almost every technology has it's base in military usage)
2. By space research and exploration (finding how materials and tech are in extreme conditions, battling extremes and creating new energy sources)

Which one do you prefer?

it's neccesary search about another energy sources specially magnetic energy, this kind of energy it's the key to transform totally the space research and the better way to propulsion not burning fosil fuels.. this kind of energy it's totally arcaich
