- mcpackieh 3y agoNASA often gets the same treatment, particularly so during the Apollo program when they were getting a lot of money. It doesn't matter the country, a lot of people don't see the sense in spending a single pence on space. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/jul/14/apollo-11-civil-rights-black-america-moon https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/jul/14/apollo-11-ci...
- somenameforme 3y agoOne of my favorite quotes is, "When a wise man points at the moon the imbecile examines the finger." So pertinent, but also with so absurdly much imagery, symbolism, and metaphor packed into just a few words. But perhaps the most remarkable thing is that that quote's 2500 years old. Technology changes so much, but we largely seem to be the exact same people we were even thousands of years in the past.
