American Moon Mission Suffers Fuel Leak, Has 'No Chance' of a Soft Landing | Smart News| Smithsonian Magazine
So, another HUGE waste of $$$ that could have been used for more important things than visiting a dead rock. I'm all for science and exploration and all that, but it pisses me off to see the $$$ wasted on it and military spending when there are citizens of this country who sleep in doorways at night in the freezing cold and have nothing to eat or any medical/psychiatric assistance to improve their lives.
While this occurs in this country, the U.S. has NOTHING to be proud of regarding its successful missions and science advancements. This country should BE ASHAMED... EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU that citizens are suffering as they are in the streets of the cities and towns of this country. Wherever even just one is suffering and the rest walking by and ignoring that suffering, the species is diminished further.
What we see here is known as FUCKED UP PRIORITIES, folks! Until this species begins to understand that peoples' lives and well-being are MORE important than exploration and/or exploitation #For_Profit, then there will be no improvements/advancements for this species... only suffering and DOOM.
