Once again scientists miss the entire point. It is about marketing and making people interested.
It makes it easier when you go back five years later and ask for more money if people can see the multi-million dollar toy they paid for.
- jibalt 5y agoYeah, scientists are point-missing dummies who think that the images that telescope will produce are of no value next to images of the telescope unfolding. Far better to have internet randos who surely aren't dummies running things.
- repler 5y agoHow often do you look at exterior photos of the Hubble? Secondly, do we collectively as smart people honestly care what the ivermectin crowd thinks about exploring the cosmos?
- SirHound 5y agoIt’s a telescope with a camera stuck to one end. I think people will be able to see what they paid for.
- JohnBooty 5y agoWhen you think of the Hubble, do you think of "product porn" shots of the telescope itself, or the spectacular images and science it produced? Likewise, for Voyager/Cassini/Huygens/etc? Don't remember any selfies from those. We merely had to settle for the spectacular, never-before-seen images of other worlds. Guess they were failures. :-(
