      Sure. The system is broken. Also, mind you, money is fake and human suffering is being caused in the pursuit of a number going up for a very few people. It isn't a bad thing to try to learn something, anything more, about this universe.

      sure but everything we've "learned about the universe" from projects like these actually fucking sucks and is of no practical use to anyone hooray, today I discovered that Venus looks yellow

      We'll learn more about the universe from curing Alzheimer's than we ever will from hurling billions of dollars of tech out of Earth's orbit

      It's not "billions of dollars of tech". 1) the tech isn't that expensive, it's the getting it there that's expensive 2) dollars are meaningless if you're a nihilist.

      programming and dev manpower= billions of dollars of tech. and manpower isn't meaningless.

      And you'd rather they do what? Calculate more digits of pi? Make even fancier graphics to game with? Everything is meaningless if you're a nihilist. And if you're not then why do you value some things over others?

      I'm not a nihilist. I literally have never identified as a nihilist. (I'm religious.) if any sum of money above fifty million dollars is going to be spent, I want it to be put towards making human being's lives better. putting robots on Mars doesn't. It's a very expensive hobby.

      Just because you don't see that there can be benefits to human lives doesn't mean there aren't any. Why are you so adamant that it is worthless but buying a PS5 isn't?

      If there's benefits to human lives to putting rovers on Mars then fucking name one, stop this circuitous argument about "then why not eat protein gruel and till soil?"

      I should point out at this point that while nothing about Perseverance is anything other than blue-sky, non-applied research at this point, it's not just "taking pictures of Mars" for its own sake It's specifically NASA doing a big life sciences project

      They're investigating the Jezero crater, which is believed to be a dried-up ancient seabed and the most likely place Martian microbial life could've existed if anywhere The goal is to try to discover extraterrestrial life for the first time, if possible

          There's a lot of possible "side effects" that branch off from that, if anything comes of it In order to be recognizable as life, any Mars microbes would have to be *similar* to "life as we know it", but it is very unlikely they would be *identical* to life as we know it

          The outside chance that we could discover a new kind of macromolecule that works similarly to Earth proteins but using a different "library" of monomers than our 20 amino acids would be a big deal So would discovering something similar-but-different to the "language" of DNA/RNA
