Oh yeah... Umpteen tonnes of mass and bad gyroscopes
Hello Dinosaurs,
Let's see: fly a $5,000,000,000 dollar shuttle with 7 crew next to Umpteen tonnes of mass with gyroscopes failing, at a $200 million - $300 million launch cost, while at the same time the Next Generation telescope is already under construction....
Just tell Sen Milkuski that the Next Generation Data will go through the Space Telescope Institue there in Maryland, and this BS will come to a rapid stop...
And by the way, all these big questions are all real fascinating and all that, but the total NASA NEO observation budget is still $3.5 million per year.
