Unlike the first time, it isn't new and isn't a technological flex. The payoff from the first time was marginal, measured mainly in the children it inspired to pursue STEM. This time, does anybody even care?
- torben-friis 1y agoI know, not disagreeing! You just left the ball bouncing and I couldn’t help writing the comment.
