Don't be so obtuse. Without a nipple a manboob would have no point.

In my neck of the German woods we have this wonderful phrase, "So nützlich wie dem Papst seine Eier". I'll let you figure out what it means 
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I understand your point about not having to pay for it but yet millions is spent to launch spacecraft so they can find nothing

Are you saying you have some concrete criticisms of the science objective of some specific space project you would like to discuss, or are you just scoring cheap points again?

No what I am saying is that millions are homeless and starving, the world is ruining out of fossil fuels. While this is happening millions is put aside to launch objects in the space cause that will solve everyone's problems
What do you mean "cheap points?"

Meanwhile the pope is sitting, praying his ass off for the poor. From his golden throne and all.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

He scored nothing.
Science learns even by its failures.
Religion never learns.

How bout how most churches barely give shit to the poor because they have no money by the time they pay the pastors salary and house? What little they do have left over usually goes to maintaining the building. I have seen the books and what goes on at the church business meetings, they give very little.

Do you have any inkling how large the economy is in comparison? What a stupid football stadium or a skyscraper cost?
If only! these social environmental problems could be solved by scrapping the odd space mission. Humbug, there's enough food, enough money, enough workforce, just not the concerted will.
Quote:What do you mean "cheap points?"
See above. You just bash the first thing you come across which vaguely conflicts with your world view and scream: think of the starving children! It's transparently hypocritical.

I'm sure His Assholiness gives a rat's ass what you think.
