If you want massive returns on medical and health sciences, you get far better returns investing in medical research and public health programs. Same with technology - if you want better materials and electronics, invest in physics research.
- wredcoll 1y agoIsn't that basically what they did? The moon landing was just a big test of the research.
- trenchpilgrim 1y agoThe US spent 6% of its GDP to land on the moon, much of that money going into military and aerospace companies . It is far more efficient to spend that money on medical, health and physics research directly; the moon landing accomplished political and cultural objectives.
- wredcoll 1y ago> money on medical, health and physics research directly What precisely is the difference? Where was space-race money spent that shouls be reallocated? My point is you eventually need to put the research into practice.
