The peak of the Perseids was Tuesday morning, but I was standing outside at about 10pm local time the following Friday night taking a smoke break at work, and I happened to be looking toward the western sky (quite the opposite of where I would normally be looking if seeking a meteor show) when I […]

You need to research precisely how much money NASA costs us taxpayers per year (which represents less than 1% of the budget) and how much space research actually contributes to the well being of humanity and the economy.

A single flight to the moon, extracting one ton of H3 (Hydrogen 3) would cost approximately $800M, returning a product valued at @ $50B.
