It isn't. But it's incredibly rewarding. Read G.H.Stein's the Third Industrial Revolution. Failure to regard the potential for novel materials manufacture in zero G(particularly to aid in making cheaper launch systems(think space elevator)). The alternative is life as mud suckers till the sun goes nova.

180 day missions normaly, they can be longer or shorter though

how long do scientists have to stay up there in Zero-G before they touch ground again?

I can't believe it. Here we have one of the greatest projects in the history of mankind. A joint operation that even links the two 'old enemies' USA and Russia, a testimony of what we as a species can accomplish.

Scientists of many countries working together in the quest of knowledge. And still, some people say 'I don't need science, just wastes MY money'. Carl Sagan would turn over in his grave if he'd hear this. Aren't you even a tiny bit curious about what the universe is made of and what our origins are? Oh wait, right. Of course, god created the earth hundreds and hundreds of years ago...But sorry, there are people on this planet, having more than 20 brain cells.

And while you might not see profit in science, it has done so much for you. Just the Computer and Internet, you're sing right now for example. Besides, science projects bring the nations and people of this planet together, peacefully. So don't tell me it's a waste of money. I am proud of what we have accomplished in the past few years and I have the gighest hopes for the years to come. A great man once said something about the 'human endeavour', perhaps you should read his books... |
