It is higher for you, perhaps, and for techies. The average person does not care at all about autonomous landing on an asteroid, despite the scientific and engineering feat it is.
People cheered for the man landing on the moon, all over the world, even in the communist block, despite loosing the space race with that very event. Why? Because it was about people! Because the even the ordinary people could relate to the event.
- gaius 10y agoExactly. Unless people are actually going into space, there is no point in it at all, well beyond satellites anyway. Think about here on Earth. You can get high definition photo and video from anywhere on the planet. But people still love to travel. Because it's no substitute for the real thing.
- kodfodrasz 10y agoIts funny, because the very same idea popped into my mind a few minutes ago, while I was eating bacon and fresh vegetables. Not eating algae and looking at a photo of bacon ;). Simply that is how people work.
