    You know, NASA could make some serious cash selling these panoramic views of the galaxy as art prints. #milkywaycenter

    @Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected: Dude,
    NASA a government agency. Make some serious cash. Let that sink in for a second.

    They would find some way to screw it up. It's the unspoken fourth law of Thermodynamics. No government body will ever be able to turn a profit, even when shooting the proverbial fish in a barrell. #milkywaycenter

    I guess people don't realize it but we're still living in the dark ages of Science, we've made a lot of progress in the last century, but we've barely figured out how things work, and we still haven't gotten mass acceptance of certain scientific discoveries.

    One could only wonder what our scientific knowledge will look like now a millennium from now.

    Millennium from now? That if indeed we are still around.. The earth is 4.6 billion years old and hmm, the Human race only 200-600,000 years old- hopefully we'll still be around if we were to already figured out how to colonize outside of this planet before the next species cleansing happens on this planet.

    One group making a mistake doesn't mandate a shift of an entire nation. Has there been a repeat of the incident in the past ten years? If not, it only attests to the notion that the status quo is sufficient.
