Stephen hawkings, a russian billionaire, and Mark Zukkenburg have teamed up to launch an extraterrestrial project. Thoughts and info?
It's really funny that some people have so much wealth and money and don't know how to spend this funds better than on something useless for all humankind.
They may wait 100 or 1000 years to receive answer from aliens on some very fare planet but most people need help and support right now.
I don't know it's this funny or stupid news, or both.
But, I guess, it's better even to spend money in this way than for wars or weapons.
There is money to do both. Help people right now and explore space. Doesn't have to be one or the other. And it's a smaller amount than some big budget movies. That's a bigger waste. This could have a good return in information about the world around us, develop our knowledge in many areas and create infrastructure we may need in the future.
