When I read such PR it feels that someone need a budget approved and no accountability : "here is something cool that nobody can check, but hey we could explore this for a couple of millions, can you sign down here"
- quadrifoliate 3y agoHuh? Most of the "cool" stuff is speculation from readers like ourselves. If you were on the budget, Galileo would have never gotten money for a telescope.
- AnonMO 3y agoNobody can check? You can file a request for a time slot on webb if you have proper reasoning then compare your atmospheric composition findings with nasa own findings that they posted also they never claimed that there’s life they said “some astronomers believe that these worlds are promising environments to search for evidence for life on exoplanets.” Also they have other sensors on webb that have no been pointed at the planet yet so I don’t think they will need any money for this purpose yet.
