How much is that in Apollos?
Sunday, October 5th, 2008I just have to share this comparison of the finacial crisis bailout and large-scale scientific programs:
… For example, you could build 70 Large Hadron Colliders (or maybe just one Ultra-Humongous Hadron Collider).
By the way, the entire US space effort through Apollo was about 100 billion in current dollars, so we could do seven Apollos for the amount of the bailout.
You know, a few hundred billions here and a fwe hundred billions there, all of a sudden we’re talking real money!
