    I have a question for people who complain that solar exploration should be abandoned and the resources should be guided towards feeding the poor and eradicading poverty. My question is - why solar exploration and not for example armaments, building thousands of new churches, mosks and temples, etc. worthless activities? Cause things I mentioned take up a lot more of resources than exploration of space, and give a lot less (if any) gain for humanity.

    Must be hard to keep all those astronomers around the world from talking about this stuff though, eh?

    Yeah, there might be top secret spy satellite missions, but unless it's to do with national security, there's no reason to hide astronomical findings... it's just a waste of time and money.

    By the 8th minute in this video - I started setting up my huge telescope on my balcony. Saturn's and Titan's live observations will begin as soon as this video ends:)

    The lifespan of humans born in the 1990s is bound to be longer than that of humans born in the 1890s.
