    This is the saddest thing now-a-days, if I recall correctly from a GPG OT thread, th eUSA's Department of Defense had a larger Bugdet during a single year Than NASA had received during it's entire lifetime.

    Especially when you consider all kinds of new technologies that NASA has helped develop over the years. Not to say we wouldn't have gotten around to coming up with those eventually, but if we can get good stuff sooner purely as a side benefit to pushing our space programs that's literally Win-Win.

    Maybe we can invent some fake alien threat. We would have space elevators and orbital shipyards within a couple of years.

    @Arkyd: The only real use of this satellite is this thread here. And many other discussions spreading in the internet and in the other media about it. Scientific use will be limited, technical knowledge gain for planetary ressources will be small. Its a fun project, to increase awareness of high technology. I like it though^^
