Yeah, that's what I thought.
I've been reading a bunch of science heavy space books lately and been thinking about what happened there in which we are further from the moon now than we were in 1963 and it's just been getting me thinking on science heavy projects that might have real benefits to the human race. Or at least, if not benefits, then something more physical to show off anyway.
Science has become so theoretical in the last 25 years. And while I realize that technically, the LHC is proving such theories and is in fact physical, it's still so far removed from life in the real world it is hard for average people to care about.
Wondering if we'll every see a return of heavy science with heavy engineering or exploration I guess. Or at least something tangible coming form it we can all use like the internet.
