So far Titan a waste

After this months local Astronomy Club meet I have to agree with the
growing opinion that so far the most recent mission to Saturn is a big
yawn. More pictures of fuzzy yellow balls. Billions of the nations wealth
and what the hell do we have to show? In a time when this country is face
with impotent challenges this is how the elites have chosen to Blow the big
Bucks.
You know if all this had a practical use well then maybe I would have a
different opinion. But I have to agree with those of you who say that if
all we are going to do is take pictures and snoop around poking into frozen
prehistoric giant snow balls , hey not on my dime brother.

Oooh, an upopular opinion. Watch out, some people might label this as a troll.

For the record, I think Cassini rocks and it hasn't even got started on
Titan yet. Just you wait.

They got your dime you lardass!

It is amusing that you go to an Astronomy Club to find out about such
things. Guess you do not read nor watch television.

"Billions" are wasted on far more things. Perhaps, given the "impotent
challenges", we should invest in Viagra instead??

The practical use of science is never obvious up front.

And -- it is on your dime (think taxes)..

Maybe your country's military should stop following them around like a puppy. :-)

Now that is funny, Geoff. Little will change, even if Kerry is elected.
Read his statements .. and the history books. We do not really have a
two party system in the pariamentary sense.
