Touchdown! Failed Mars probe crashes into Pacific - or Brazil?

Russia's Phobos-Grunt, whose mission to a Martian moon went astray before circling the Earth, finally plunged into the Pacific Ocean on Sunday, says Russia's Defense Ministry. But other experts insist it landed somewhere in central Brazil.

@07084935 Well think of it like this:

If intelligent people has no motivation to rise to power, and people who rise to power have no interest in science or becoming educated, then the only way to extract social value out of the best and brightest of us is this large scale science projects.

And it might sound sad but, NEVER in history did humans changed by taking a logical decision, it was eater hunger or technology that started a chain of events. This is why science must go on if you want change
