Does this have ANYTHING to do with my post or this thread?
As for Pan-Starrs, I honestly have no idea what your gripe is- I have to assume you have not educated yourself on what Pan-Starrs is meant to do... Its primary goal is to look for possible impactors- comets and asteroids - at the same time the images it collects will be be of great use for other area of astronomy and science... I have talked to some of the scientists involved in Pan-Starrs and I can assure you that impactor detection is the pimary goal, but many are also enthusiastic about all the other discoveries it will make... It will be perfect for spotting more large KBO like Xena, It will produce a huge database of star position, color, and brightness and can look for changes...
This seems to me to be something you would support.
