Stephen hawkings, a russian billionaire, and Mark Zukkenburg have teamed up to launch an extraterrestrial project. Thoughts and info?
It's really funny that some people have so much wealth and money and don't know how to spend this funds better than on something useless for all humankind.
They may wait 100 or 1000 years to receive answer from aliens on some very fare planet but most people need help and support right now.
I don't know it's this funny or stupid news, or both.
But, I guess, it's better even to spend money in this way than for wars or weapons.
Yep, only if all the other people would spend their money on similar projects too. Unfortunately there are people who spend on weapons more than on food, North Korea for example, and if you don't want to be conquered by them you should invest in weapons too.
Yes, it's sad reality that we have to spend so much money on weapons when so many people in Africa don't have enough food to eat and starving.
But, if we can't avoid it because of countries like N. Korea and Isis terrorist organization, at least we don't need to spend money on such stupid and very expensive things like searching alien life.
Agree that we spend too much on weapons. But it isn't because of north korea or isis. That is just the current excuse. Before that it was the russians. Before them the germans. Before that the british. Before them the spanish. Etc. We spend that money in weapons because it makes some people very rich.
IMO, this project is dangerous. But it will surely create history in science.
