Dolly Parton didn't spend her millions on vanity space travel, she's spent it putting 150 million books in the hands of children and honestly, more people should be like Dolly.
@Deome @SketchesbyBoze Agree , but is this a real measure of societal success
@Deome @SketchesbyBoze And what will all of these scientific advancements come to if we don't feed and educate the future generations that will develop them? It's not that they went to space. It's that people making $7.50 an hour are barely able to live and they're not paying taxes.
@Deome @SketchesbyBoze By our government. Not rich egomaniacs. But you knew that already.
@Deome @SketchesbyBoze Waiting for these billionaires to start funding basic research the results of which are shared for the public good.
@Deome @SketchesbyBoze Not sure we ever needed this technology in the first place... The world is not a better, safer, equitable, equal or greener for it. Capitalism has a lot to answer for. Try thinking for yourself and not the slave to the system you've become?
@Deome @SketchesbyBoze Bozos and his brother taking a joyride to space isn't going to advance us at all. Get real
@Deome @SketchesbyBoze Hogwash!! This has absolutely zero to do with space exploration! This is a vanity ride pure and simple. Nothing more! latimes.com/business/story…
@Deome @SketchesbyBoze Try billions spent on basic science. Space exploration has nothing to do with it.
