On the orbit around the Earth has appeared one more big dust – the ultra-violet FUSE telescope has ceased to work and bring the information. I do not agree with Laura http://laura-fab.vox.com/ meaning that the price of this telescope matters.
In fact knowledge is invaluable. It is difficult for understanding, but it is an indisputable fact. And about money – probably it would be possible to restore a control system, to lift onto the needed orbit having spent for that several millions dollars. But how to feed a greater half of mankind that did not eat every day?
How to explain to a smaller part of people living on the Earth that it is necessary to go another way, instead of purchasing another yacht or constructing a new factory only for buying an even greater yacht.
What will our children and grandchildren tell about us? There was such telescope – has become outdated and has burned down. There were on the Earth oil and woods grew once (with rabbits and ants). Fishes lived in the ocean and people say that there were dolphins and whales which not conceded on mind to people. But the result is obvious!
All this was killed by rich people’s pursuit for such a green piece of paper USD 100 worth, amen!
