Did ya see the new telescope?
10 times more powerful than the Hubble!
First light in 8 years. (Well... we'll see.)
I swear we live in the days of Science Fiction.

Is the top of a volcano the best place to invest $1.4 billion ? (If privately funded, it's their concern, applause for them.)
If you're interested I just posted on this very issue.
Thanks, again

And if given the opportunity to vote for it, I wouldn't.
But with all the money blown, I do get excited to see some small bit go to things like this.
And "small bit" is exactly right. The same $ amount spent on Science in a year is consumed by the welfare state in what... a week? A day? (I'm too lazy to figure it out right now. I should do that.)
But the amount makes no difference. You are 100% right - of course.
"We do! We do! "
No, I hadn’t seen the telescope, yet. That is so awesome! I’m all excited about LISA http://science.nasa.gov/missions/lisa/
LISA might lead to evidence of a possible multi-verse existence. I can’t wait!
I'm all for it, of course. No one loves scientific progress more than I. But the NASA page makes it sound like an established technology, whereas - as I understand it - we have yet to detect gravity waves.

Is LISA the next effort to do so?
That would be awesome - in the real sense of that word!

Wondering why they didn't pick a less geologically active location however.
Lotsa telescopes on the Hawaii Volcanos.
Nicely done.
Howard Roak is alive and well, somewhere.
But certainly gifted and great engineers still live among us.
