This is fantastic news. Science will eventually benefit all of mankind even if the benefits are initially felt closer to where they're conducted.
I welcome increased science funding regardless of who is doing it, particularly when we're talking about non-military scientific research.
If this makes the US feel competitive and they increase funding state-side then so much the better. We'd all benefit from that too.
- Old_Thrashbarg 8y agoI agree. It's also good to have more diversification of science and technology progress. That way if one country gets an anti-science leader, it makes less of a difference to overall human progress.
- epberry 8y agoI agree. An international competition over “who can do the best research” is certainly something to welcome.
- oatrefer 8y agoCompletely agree, hopefully we will see more funding in areas that have been "forgotten" due to recent hype cycles.
