- jimmaswell 7y agoWorldwide satellite internet access provides more value to humanity than identifying stars. Maybe some telescopes should be put on the moon/mars anyway.
- macawfish 7y agoI'd tend to disagree with ya on that!

- jimmaswell 7y agoAll the necessary physics could have been developed just fine even if there had always been a dense fog of debris surrounding the earth past the moon.
