Most people don't care


I'm hoping now that people follow more in the footsteps of Burt Rutan in phase two of this next chapter. For those who don't know, him and his company are working on making space accessible to more people and it's exploration cheaper and further-reaching.

What a waste of money.
Have they found anything but rocks yet?

Satellites are also a part of the space age, without which we wouldn't have so much info- weather patterns, GPS, cell phones, satellite tv, monitoring parts of the earth, etc
