Not that it wouldn't be great to see it started up again, but how is the supercollider any less of a money pit than the ISS? I can hardly see it being a profitable business plan for a startup...
- nkassis 16y agoLook all that stuff is useless we need him to invest in ITER such that we can have fusion reactors soon.
- SkyMarshal 16y agoI was just joking about SSI as a startup, but I'd wager that unlocking the secrets of the fundamental particles of the universe has a great deal more potential than even ISS's best experiments. One of our biggest problems re space exploration and colonizing other planets is that our energy and propulsion systems suck for the task. Imho, materials science, nanotech, and further drilling down into sub-atomic mechanics is where we're more likely to make breakthroughs in things like energy generation, storage, and efficient propulsion.
