UPI Exclusive: Bush OKs new moon missions
"Jorge R. Frank" wrote in message ...
If you want to justify your Pluto mission as planetary defense, I don't. That's one justifcation, not *the* justification. No, it's a rationalization. Calling a junket to Pluto planetary defense is like bombing Kosovo and calling it national defense. Meanwhile, the real threats are ignored. then you should submit it to a panel of planetary defense specialists and let them peer-review it, No, I'd let them review the planetary defense *aspects* of the mission, while other peer review panels (space science, etc) review the rest. The *combined* score from the panels would determine the priority. Naturally. The possibility of global extinction must be balanced against the chance to publish a few obscure scientific papers. :-) |
