Sorry, what science and discovery is that bringing?
I mean it's technically really cool, but I fail to see the science and discovery there.
- hermannj314 7mo agoFrom NASA >> Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for *scientific discovery*, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars. Yeah fuck me for thinking this was about that that.
- palata 7mo agoDo you think they would say "with the same budget we can obviously make better science with unmanned missions, but people find the manned ones cooler"?
- whackernews 7mo agoWhy don’t you look it up instead of guessing? I mean even on the surface level, for me, exploring space is the most “science and discovery” thing you can do!
- palata 7mo agoCuriosity, Perseverance, Rosetta. Those are science and discovery. Sending people in space? Mostly cool engineering.
