Well, manned exploration does sound pretty cool though.
- bryanlarsen 1y agoSounds like a good summary of the Trump administration -- fund the high profile, low bang for buck projects and cut the boring high bang for buck projects.
- deadbabe 1y agoPutting people on a moon isn’t low bang for the buck IMO.
- bryanlarsen 1y ago> $200B to put a man on the moon vs < $100M to put a robot on the moon.
- deadbabe 1y agoIt is not that massive of a cost. $3 to $4 billion to put men on the moon. And if you’re doing it regularly you can eventually make optimizations to cost and bring that price down at least to 10%. But we’re out of practice. It’s been almost 60 years.
