We will never progress as a species ironically because our own leaders are too greedy to share with the people who actually want to make a difference. You just DON'T cut research. It's like a universal law. We absolutely need to be funding research as much as we can right now because we are stuck on this rock with no way out. I'm dead serious everyone that understands the importance of research needs to come together and make these politicians life hell until they change their mind.

It takes a lot of time to ensure no requirements have been missed, reviews must be held at all stages, etc. It's not easy, cheap or fast.

The first (and only) mission to Uranus and Neptune was launched on August 20, 1977. It's a shame that almost 47 years later, we are still waiting for the next mission to the Uranus and Neptune systems.

@rhonafenwick5643 Месяц назад

Seriously. We've sent so many missions to Jupiter and Saturn already, with another Jovian moon mission en route right now, and even _New Horizons_ - which, incredibly, is the only probe to _ever_ have a primary mission dedicated to a body beyond Saturn - spent a good amount of time studying Jupiter during its gravity assist. I fervently believe Neptune needs to be NASA's next major target after the Titan _Dragonfly._ I know a lot of people are nuts for Uranus and its bunch of icy moons, but the thing is we've got so much data from the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn already, with another dedicated mission en route to Jupiter right now. A Neptune orbiter would give us a two-for-one because of Triton: it's unlikely we'll ever see another mission to a Kuiper Belt dwarf planet along _New Horizons_ lines, and Triton gives us a unique second chance to study a KBO up close and do valuable comparative studies between it and Pluto, which _New Horizons_ successfully showed is way more geologically interesting than had been believed.

As paradoxical and ironical it might seam. War furthers the development of peacfull tecnologies, that aids in the progress of exploration. To those who dont know. The rockets we use to visit space and to send stuff to other planets, where originaly developed by the germans during ww2 to bomb the brits. The nuclear bombs gave birth to nuclear reactors, to light our cities, and to give energy to some space crafts/satelites. There is probably a werry high amount of things we use in exploration, and even in general today we take for granted, that have it's origins in the military. So as horrible war is, we also got plenty to thank it for. As much as i want to see all conflicts come to a end, and for all weapons to be destroyed, i can clearly see the good it all also have brought us. We can only pray for a day in the future, where we no longer need weapons to set our differenses aside. I truly believe we could acomplishe so mutch when it comes to space exploration, if we would be truly willing to work togeather and be transparant and open. But that's not in humanitys nature. We allways have had an them ageinst us mentality, and the few times we tried out to not have it, it's never lasted long.

How many times do we have to see embryonic or infant space programs based on nationalism or partisanship crippled or blighted when the winds of fortune and popular attention change? If there are lessons to be learned from twentieth century experience they are that space science is global, that, literally, 'we are all in this together' and that 'we are in this for the long haul'. What we are creating here is just seeds, which can bear fruit for generations. Who knows what 'weather' in the long-term they might see?

Before the US landed on the moon, the Soviet Union sent several probes to explode across the lunar surface, scattering a ball of little platinum Hammer & Sickle pins over an area hundreds of meters across. If someone managed to _collect those little platinum medallions & return them to Earth,_ not only would their removal be a bit of snarky one-upmanship over Russia, but the pins themselves would likely be _very_ valuable as rare-earth space-race collectibles that'd been to the moon...

They already do kind of do that. Contracts for the moon have been publicly open to private companies for a while, and many of them have not made any progress or went under.

And I think many of my colleagues had the same problem with courses named Introduction to... Many of us never knew how to answer simple questions. And it wasn't because we didn't actually knew the answer, but because we were under the impression that it had to be a really complicated answer. Just think of aerodynamics and the Navier-Stokes equations. Those equations are massive. And they can't be solved analytically as far as I know. And probably will never get solved. Or who knows? Maybe they will be solved in 100 years. But after seeing the Navier-Stokes equations and hearing about the difficulty of solving them and being shown why they are difficult to solve, you end up thinking that that difficulty is just one of the many difficulties. And that the professor knows all the other difficulties involved but he's not telling you about it because it's just an introduction. And then he asks something rather simple, like how do you multiply two matrices and people go like... hmmmmm... this guy knows a lot more than me, so he must be asking about a magical way of multiplying them that I have never heard of. Better shut up so I don't get embarrassed. And a professor probably does know more than the students, but he's usually not asking about God knows what obscure way of multiplying them that no one has ever heard of except for him. He's probably asking about the simple method involving the multiplication of lines and columns. And maybe Gauss-Sidel. Something like that. Not some 34 order of precision Runge-Kutta applyed to the numerical solving of systems and whether that method can be made to be stable if you just add a small correction.

But it is a waste of money. All expenditure of money that does not generate more money than was put in, is definitionally a waste. Regardless if you "like" the thing the money was spent on. Economic fact is what dictates government fund allocation. I am sick to death of people ignoring this. War generates profit, get over it. Space science does not. Get over it. I think NASA should receive more funding. But i refuse to pretend it isn't a waste by the definition of the word waste. Speculative investment on a future prospect is just a very verbose way of saying "waste" in economic speak. NASA at best, is speculative investment on a future prospect.

@OliverGrumitt Месяц назад

It would have been great to have had the Mars Sample Return Mission but not at the expense of other less expensive but exciting missions, Dragonfly being 4:17 a classic example of that. I am looking forward to Dragonfly more because although we know now much more about Titan following the Cassini and Huygens missions, there is still so much to learn and discover, and Titan certainly has to be one of the most interesting places in the Solar System. Although of course temperatures there are extremely cold, at minus 180C, Titan is the only other world in the solar system that has a nitrogen rich atmosphere and a surface pressure similar to Earth’s. On the other hand, we know a tremendous amount about Mars now and from what we know now, finding life there today or in the past is extremely unlikely. It is possible life may have existed at one time and maybe even today, but it would be well below the surface, beyond the reach of present day technology to get to it. On the surface, where the Mars Sample Return mission would fetch its rocks from, no chance. For a start, the surface has been exposed to solar radiation for at least 2 or 3 billion years, and therefore I am almost certain, as certain as one can get, that the surface is sterile. In a very recent video, Anton says the methane on Mars which generated a lot of excitement because it could have been produced by Martian organisms, now appears to originate from non biological sources. So, if and when the MSR mission happens, there will be a lot of disappointment if, as I confidently predict very strongly indeed, the Mars samples show no sign or evidence of life whatsoever, though of course it would be great to be wrong.

$10 Billion is 40% of NASA’s budget. I agree with you. As much as we’d love to get those samples back, it’s not the highest priority or the most science bang for the buck.

And social media also promotes a very dreamy state of mind. One that it's not quite suited for science. With social media you never know what you actually know. It's always about how things will be, so great, whatever, and all you have are a bunch of equations that don't look so great. I remember being in college and having courses named introduction to. Never actually understood when I am going to learn about the topic, if the course is only an introduction. So I never actually paid much attention to the courses, thinking that I will never need them, only to find out later that the introduction was the whole thing, everything coming afterwards being just some repetition with minor variations. Don't know if I should blame this one on social media also, probably not, but being in college and having the feeling that you never know anything because everything is just an introduction and then you have to study the real stuff by yourself doesn't really help the morale. I for one got really discouraged thinking that everything was just an introduction and afterwards things will get 10000000 times harder. They were already pretty hard.
