Neil deGrasse Tyson on Gingrich's Moon Colony
Fletch>> ^Tman:
I'm not sure I follow deGrasse Tyson's logic. So we need to build a moon base to spark interest in science and engineering because we are falling behind the rest of the world in these areas. What is sparking interest in science and engineering in the rest of the world? Are they all planning on building a moon base?
No, they aren't. I think we are falling behind for other reasons (e.g., a broken education system) and incurring massive debt for grandiose manned space exploration projects will not help the issue.
I love the idea of space exploration, but it is something a rich government should undertake. Our's is broke.
He did say "for me...", although I would disagree that it's a primary reason for doing so instead of just a really positive side-effect. Personally, I think the reasons for returning to the moon and beyond are greater than most of us can assimilate given the immensity of world problems nowadays. But, there will always be world problems. Why wait?
I read somewhere that we could have financed two (or more) manned missions to Mars with the money we spent in Iraq. In the long-term future of humans (assuming we survive long enough to become truly space-faring), which do you think would have greater benefitted our species? Which will history regard as an important stepping stone in human advancement/evolution? Getting Saddam and destroying the infrastructure of an entire country, not to mention the tens of thousands of lives lost, or, the cooperation of nations in getting to Mars.
Space exploration doesn't have to be just an idea, and it shouldn't be.
