Re: The value received
Triana's second goal was educational.
As to that 2nd goal I disagree that it would inspire. It is NOT similar to getting kids outside to really look at the sky. I favor that approach. Triana is yet another Internet phenomenoa. It's indestinguishable from the same ol' same ol' special CGI effects kids are used to and sanguine about. Getting them outside to see the moon, meteor showers, Mars and telescopic objects - that inspires the new generation. Outside IS "new " to them, particularly if they're cist suburban kids. So, from my opinion (not fact, we're arguing opinions) Triana would be a waste of a good space launch and mission.
Bon jour
