Well its about perspective, we spend how many hundreds of billions on the American military complex, how about the massive tax credits for huge corporations.
Nasa; projects like LHC are about something bigger than just economic gain, or military might; it has massive relevance and importance to our future.
We throw so much money away on supporting consumerism, big business, and the pennies these projects receive should be not only increased but widely supported.
Because if you think the solutions for our incoming problems for this planet will come from Citibank, Haliburton, Shell, or any other corporation you are deluded (not you T@T, in general I'm saying.)
Pure science, not monetary reward focused science is the one part of the global human contract we should never breach, without it, we will simply be science for profit/benefit and not have the type of research/breakthroughs that we truly need.
