Sorry Sizzlik, it gets my goat that whenever any scientific advance is made, someone pipes up with a comment like "what a waste of money!". Science is cheap and we ought to do more of it, and spend less money building more and more weapons and dreaming up new ways to kill each other; or bailing out rich bankers and their friends whenever they have a bad day at the casino.
Rant over. Thanks for listening.
