~25 billion in funding and they need my phone…
I see the lack of critical thinking apple doesn't fall far from the Reddit tree.
How does this guy complaining about funding mean he lacks critical thinking? This place is more full of thoughtless agitprop than Reddit. Your botlike comment is useless and could be a response to anything. This place sucks lol
Could it be something like the overall funding for an institution is not relevant to crowdsourcing one research project? Or maybe that no matter what you think about overall budget, that has nothing to do with trying to get millions of sensors in place? Or maybe that regardless of government funding, citizen participation in science is exciting and cool?
Edit: or maybe it’s just a throwaway comment trying to stir outrage, rather than having any relevance to continuing a discussion
Thanks for shilling
Holy crap yeah, you can’t even build one high speed rail line with that! You couldn’t even rebuild the World Trade Center in NYC with that! That’s less than the Big Dig rebuilding a couple miles of highway in Boston! How are we keeping NASA so poor when they consistently deliver science that is both literally and figuratively out of this world?
Until we can multiply that budget, “all your [phones] are belong to [NASA]”
