As Ben Stein documented extensively in Expelled, the important thing is that this claim enhances the ability of researchers to find new frontiers of grants and funding and that Charles Darwin comes out looking like the smartest, handsomest guy they can put in front of young peoples' eyes.
This is like the Valerie Plame wild goose chase of the Bush 43 administration.
The only charges -obstruction of justice- had nothing to do with any prior crime being committed.
In otherwords, if there had not been any allegations no crimes would have even happened.
A spectacular waste of tax payer dollars amounting to little more than a way for the democrats to make themselves look less bad without actually contributing anything.
So voters only matter when they pick the guy you like?
The shoe will be on the other foot.
Republicans say, "Elections have consequences", but Democrats say, "It doesn't matter. My opponent is brain dead !!"
If democrats and progressives have more to offer than juvenile recess taunts it doesn't make a practical difference because they carry out their agenda as if that's all they had going for them.
Ha... well, I think what you're saying here is that scientists would be interested in this and they could probably milk some steep grant money out of it.
But on your death bed are you going to look back and say, "Ah ! I know whether exoplanets have trash in their underwater trenches! It was all worth it!"
If not, then... well, there's a good chance objectivity is categorically devoid of meaning. And even if it wasn't (which is incoherent), I don't think this discovery would make a life changing difference for me. I'd move along.
Btw, why do you think you got elected ??
The only upside here is extraterrestrials are only SLIGHTLY more relevant US interests with NASA than Muslim outreach.

I got the impression he thinks the president reports to the Justice Branch.
And the Justice Branch should be able to install whoever it wants into the White House.
Soon we can be like Venezuela and make the voters into a useful formality.

Life observations are so anecdotal and arbitrary.
... leaching resources away from what rightfully belongs to politicians and party heads.
She is the smartest woman in the world and rises above our petty interests.
You see world historical significance is the only measure to apply in the grand scheme of things.
We are only puny, ordinary people
Amazon insists on being the ones to abuse and oppress and WILL NOT SHARE this role with the government !!
My plan: live somewhere else !! work somewhere else !!
Let's get back to overthrowing the guy the electorate picked and democracy !!

Your response reinforces this perception.
If Tim Cook understands all this why didn't he run for president?
And if he did, why didn't anyone vote for him?
I'm not sure why Tim Cook thinks he should lecture the guy the electorate picked.
I don't like tariffs any better, but there's a sketchy premise murking through this article.

If not, then
A lot of fights in the DoD over who gets to put their feet on the foot rest: the civil servants or the contractors.
:(
Hard to mistake any of it for protecting much of anyone
Whose life hinges on this exactly?
At what point does this not matter? If it were a hypothetical trench at the bottom of the world's deepest ocean? Or if it were on an exoplanet ?
You can find trash everywhere, but in some places you can't even find traces of significance.
I think I might have heard of them in a history elective.
Did they get started by Franklin or Edison?
An innovative thing here might be writing a good eulogy for that sad, pathetic company.
Do four sided circles look fashionable on evening wear?
How would you describe the aftermath of an unstoppable force hitting an immovable object?
A self that is artificial is a contradiction in terms.
Figure out how the US government does currency and do the opposite
People will lose their minds
Obligatory step 3: profit
Thanks Republicans, for EXPANDING the government.

Worrying is something PEOPLE do ... not circumstances.
... try and persuade me why I shouldn't like it either.
These people should stop blaming technology for their gripes.
If they don't like duplex OK
Please don't waste my time with weasel push-pieces that say, "Let's scrap this because someone is worried".
"The world is overpopulated now"
How can this possibly be true if humans only occupy 3% of the farmable land and less than 1% of the US population is farmers?
"I think that our life spans are meant to be finite"
Do you start cheering at funerals? Not my style.
If you bet against yourself ... your sad predictions will always come true.
Thanks for addressing this imaginary problem.
Let's allow these guys to handle the real ones for now.
Vampire dogs ??
If N Korea signs a "deal" to get billions to start enriching uranium, they should expect that to get yanked away.
Yank it hard. Yank it now.
Trying to picture the Jaws of victory. Some kind of sharknado thing?
How is handing huge billions of dollars to the people who are trying to nuke us a master accomplishment of the Obama administration?
I can't think of a more text book example of betrayal against ones own country.
Btw: if the media's worse gripe against trump is allegations the Russians gave him dirt on Hillary, then Trump has 2020 in the bag.
It's not going to get corrected if Trump is holding over 51% going into the mid-terms and the economy is like this.
Hillary did not promote the Iran deal in the elections. I think that was a smart move on her part.
Maybe by "Trump's nonsense" you were referring to tariffs? Can we try that?
It's justified because of the billions we are sending to the people who are publicly promising to nuke us and our allies off the map.
How can we let that opportunity slip by?
