Re: Eventually living on other planets
Sometimes the only way to learn how to do a thing, is to begin doing it. Tracking the fortunes of nations due to pure Science ("useless" at the time) should provide at least the commitment to devote say 10% instead of less than 1% of a country's budget, Understanding what we risk if we don't, even to intangibles like childrens' desire for education and a career, should rightly drive that figure to 15% minimum. The hurdle is certainly higher as it is no longer likely for a modern day set of Wright Brothers to solve major problems on a part-time basis. However just as aircraft utterly changed a world that could see little or no use for them beyond buzzing pigeons, doesn't it follow that we should trust in the odds that higher hurdles have higher rewards that we can't see until we leap them, or have we learned nothing from a historical constant?
