We see that The State of California is trying to get marajauna legalized. the rational is that it is too expensive to allow a relative few to dictate the laws of our nation where the cost of enforcing these laws is bore by the American tax payer.<br /><br /> The same is true of astronomy. The late spokesman, Francois Sagan spoke a lot of gibberish and showed a lot of pretty pictures of outer space that don't hold a titties on a bore hog's worth of real value. The only positive thing to come out of exploration of deep space is that it's good for the writing of science fiction stories.<br /><br /> Does the cost justify what is happening today? Look at it with a view of the cost versus value. What value to the human race is the results of astronomy. Does it chart road maps of places that man will one day go?No. <br /><br /> Man does not have a faster than light technology much less any technology that will allow him to exceed the maximum speed of object within the solar system. At that rate it would take man something like thousand of years just to go to our nearest neighbor, Alpha Centuri.<br /><br /> What astronomy is good for as far as value to the world is the tracking of objects that would wreck havoc and possibly end life on earth much as happened when a large meteor feel off the coast of Yucatan million of years ago but this is well taken care by amature astronomers who receive no money what so ever.<br /><br /> Before that could be beneficial to the earth an effort would have to be made to make the world leaders change their attitude toward meeting these threats and blasting them to kingdom come, and that even seems far fetched in light of Americas restrictions on nuclear weapons capable of doing the job. That seems far fetched today as people are more concerned with who will win the super bowl rather that saving our ass.<br /><br /> The term for an astronomer is Astro Physist. Now that's a real fine term capable of invoking awes and gasps when someone says that he or she is one. It's another case of PHD, you know not the degree that most are but a term that means piled higher and deeper. Isn't that the case. If someone can truthfully tell me differently then we will debate the issue. Notify me nyminus@yahoo.com. Most astronomers receive a hefty salary as opposed to the farmer who does supply a real need for food yet gets a lot less that the useless titties on a boar hog astronomers who only glorify them selves in astronomical publications and endlessly write, in jargon that us commoners can't understand about the concept of whether of not star # so and so had a methane and helium atmosphere or an atmosphere made up of some substance that we couldn't even come close to breathing. And this is all about places that are meaningless to human welfare.<br /><br /> Take for example in an astronomer discovered that an explosion in galaxiy xxzy would cause our world to be enveloped by the explosion in two thousand years, could we prevent it. Where the hell would we escape to given a two thousand year head start. Oh...you say that we would figure it out. Hey how about we would take only the best minds. The brightest people. I would bet that astronomers would be high on the list. They would convince us regular people that they had to be saved. Look at the way they have bamboozled us of their worth to justify the putting up a telescope on sacred land, Mona Kea crater.<br /><br /> No the time to get rid of these free loaders is now. Replace them with farmers. Give the farmers the money that is now given to the astronomers. There is no way that the telescopes does not operate on tax payer money. Does a business pay the astronomers money to map a certain area of space..No it is a charitable organization and it's time the charity has run it's course.

Other than a couple of types of insects, there's nothing living up there. <br /><br />Giving Hawaii a chance to become a true astronomy research center would provide so many benefits from education, jobs, spillover tourism, etc. This one needs to be built here, not in Chile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-42402774729310327012009-06-19T01:11:12.990-10:002009-06-19T01:11:12.990-10:00Hi,
