New Horizons, which is the NASA robotic spacecraft mission currently en route to Pluto, is a costly mission. Does anyone believe it is worth the turkey (money)?
-
Yes.
Clearly someone did. With luck, since it was launched by a democratic country, most of the people paying for it do.
Also, without the same human trait for exploration of which this is part, Columbus wouldnt have found America.
-
Yes. And missions of discovery and scientific enquiry a better use of money than the militarisation of space!

You say that, but who's going to protect us from the Commie-Nazi-Aliens!!! [:D] [:D]

[;D] I love it when silly references are spotted. Thnx

I know!!! It surprisingly rewarding, isn't! [;D]
Some people want to fill the world with silly [references],
And what's wrong with that, I'd like to know...

I'd like to know, cause here I go again...

lol!
Oh dear - we really must get lives!!! [;D]
I ought to shrink my own posts for wasting everybody's time! ;)
Back to the OP, I do think a probe to Pluto is a better use of money than the latest Martian desires of the US to start a colony there!
-
peppercorn, starting a colony on Mars is OK, I mean we're not bumping off it's native population like the British Empire did sometimes.

Ah! But can we be sure? What about the remnants of Martian bacteria that NASA supposedly found in the early '90s? Perhaps it was an X-files type cover-up (that [show] was popular at the time too [;D])
Still, since the OP was on economic grounds I doubt it matters. Still someone could suggest to the Republican's that there's oil on Mars - that'd get political motivation for a mission; risk-to-indigenous-pop. or no! [;)]

People can use just an impulse of photons for acceleration of spacecrafts.In first place people should learn to use all energy of photons for acceleration of spacecrafts, I think.

I think it very old hat to believe that the greatest danger we face is from Commie-Nazi-Aliens we all know it is from Al-Quaida
-
The cost is $650 million, spread over 15 years, or about $2 per person in the US. I would be willing to pay $2 to see photos of Pluto and its moons, and to learn more about them.

You'll see just deciphered nonsense.
