Hubble was sold on the idea of seeing to the
edges of the universe, ok we've been there,
done that.

I really think people will be prepared to pay
$40 each (x 250,000,000 taypayers)
= $10 billion to be able to determine biological
entities in distant planets atmospheres.

With this information we would have a better
idea on how to direct the SETI program.

Thanks in advance,

there are about 280,000,000 residents in this
country, but only about half of those are taxpayers,
nowhere near the figure you suggest.
