I think the real question is what happens to all the handhelds that they have now, There must be tons of them and they look like some slick embedded hardware as is.
All of these responses take only that fact that it might be a scientific discovery, what if it is an asteroid. The writer implicitly said earth shatering discovery, he also didn't mention an asteroid. Although anyone with a good telescope could see it mayby he is the first one to find it.
If that is the fact then any philisophical, or socilogical anwsers would apply. It would be more an anwser of who has the most time to search the skys, which right now there aren't many billonairs investing in sky whatching technology it just isn't fun.
