Every week I learn something new to admire about Germany.
Or at least its responsible investment behavior by its government.
USA would not build such a thing in today's political climate of nonsense unless it had weapons research possibilities.
- kuschku 11y agoActually, the US invested in both the National Ignition Facility for H-Bomb and Fusion research, and in ITER. Just because the US invests rarely in civilian research doesn’t mean they never do (compared to military research; compared to other countries they still invest a lot in civilian research)
- ck2 11y agoNIF is weapons research, hence my point. Congress won't fund a civilian space shuttle anymore but we spend billions for the military to have their own. Like I said, if it's not about killing people, destroying things and spying on the world (including our own people) we pretty much won't spend money on it anymore here. Germany did the investment beyond war.
