Why is it that some people think that scientists are all lying about their motives for money? Scientists tend, on the whole, to be fairly bright. Hightly technical people who have money as their objective, are generally not working at the sharp end of highly speculative research. I know one of the UK experts on glide characteristics of hypersonic vehicles, he refuses to work military but sometimes gets consulted by NASA on aerodynamic assisted slingshot concepts. He makes a living as a driving instructor.
- aasasd 7y agoYou might want to point as to where in my previous comment I said that someone in those orgs is not bright. And then to suggest how, being bright as a thousand suns, you would obtain fancy space rovers if you say “I want to check out moon chemistry” and the public goes “pffft.”
