You'd think that a bunch of computer nerds would be pro-science. Why is it that every story science/space story on slashdot attracts so much hostility? Responses range from the 'who cares' attitude to 'this money could be better spent..."
Where would you people be without science?
All pure research is valuable. Just because it doesn't produce a profit in the next five seconds or put food in the mouths of starving children doesn't invalidate it. Space exploration is the future of our species. We need to learn all we can as quickly as possible.
And what exactly would you do once you had this 'Airplane' instead of your horse and buggy? Fly around like a bird? Ridiculous. Or how about this silly telephone thing. Talking to people on the other side of the world? What could they possibly tell you that your next door neighbor couldn't?
It's morons like you that hold the rest of us back.
dryopithecus is believed to be the common ancestor of the great apes and man, but not necessarily the most recent one. It is definitely the oldest known apelike primate.
yes, you do look really stupid. I would much rather see my tax dollars go to the exploration of space, expanding the frontiers of knowledge for all humans, than pay for a free meal like pusswad deadbeats like yourself. get a fucking job you communist
