Science as a route to national prestige

But Galileo is pretty grandiose even by American science standards. Galileo is one of the great lost opportunities in space science and public relations. Yes, Galileo, the wounded warrior who carried on, managed to send back oodles of good and valuable photos. But the drop probe? Nothing of the slightest interest to the public. In other words... no friggen' camera. Joe Q Public couldn't give a **** less about magnetometer readings, or about "reconstructions" of what the Jovian sky might have looked like. A few color photos, however, would have been worth the price of the whole mission. |
