Dave in Tenn:
Sorry Fester.  Sometimes that happens.   

microlink:
Yes, very interesting. I found the man-made graphics very well done, but not sure how true to the real thing it is. I agree with some other comments on mans great inginuity to do science and technology, but cannot solve the the real problems plaging this sin sick world.

chav:
well! I enjoyed it a lot thanks for posting it.If anything I wish more money was spent on science rather than it being used to bail out banks or maintaining an oil dependent economy.

Stupid man wasting money, time, energy etc..etc..on stupidity !!

Yes he sure does.  There is much stupidity in the world with wasted money, time, and energy.  I see it everyday (and on the internet all the time).

I personally would like to ask them:  How does this landing help children who are being raped and are starving to death?

Well I can help answer that as nobody from NASA has chimed in. It does not.  I personally would like to ask you: How does your money spent accessing the internet to post on forums directly help children who are being raped and are starving to death? I only post on one forum, this one, no other. The company I own pays for the access to the internet, I don't know how much it actually is but I do believe it's under 2.5 billion. I hope by posting, a few other people might sponsor a kid or two.

Man has got most of their priorities wrong. How much did this landing cost ? 4 bil or was it 8 bil OR does it really matter?

This mission was about $2.5 Billion.  The USA spends over $6.0 Billion a year on potato chips!
Do you ever buy chips? Yes, but not in the USA.  Are your financial priorities set well?  Absolutelly How much is your monthly internet access fee?  OR does it really matter? I don't know and it doesn't matter, still under 2.5 billion 

Quote from: John9362
$30.00 per month spent to sponsor a child is worth more than the mars landing !!
http://www.childfund.org.au/

How much of the $30.00 directly benefits the child?  $28.00 What amount gets diverted to administration? $2.00Your monthly internet access fee must cost more than a bag of rice. Depends on the size of the bag.
Fester 

Fester, I hope you appreciate me answering your questions, as without that internett access it wouldn't have been possible.

** So are you going to stop buying chips & sponsor a kid or two ?? :)

I agree with dave. I can also be able to think about Many other ways of spending big ammounts of money that are way less beneficial, like for example 'big budget ($300,000,000dollars) movies'

Someone on this tread mentioned:
''I just wish/hope "man would get his act/priority right and ( I'm not going to start writing about it as this will not make it come true)''

And someday that will happen... not in this life but it will happen... That is the HOPE we have. For the moment I no longer wish for things to be any diferent (you can't really expect that much of totally carnal-minded humans), I guess right now we are spooned to overcome the world, not to try to change it. God can change it whenever he wants, and it seems that He have decided to change a 'few' ones first while using the rest for that purpose.

If we do good, we are not suposed to take the creditfor it. Imagine all the people that do great good and nobody really knows about it. If their intentions are good, their recompenses are waiting for them, but later on.

Even if somehow man would figure out to make everybody physically rich. The poors would still among us. Most of the world is spiritually starving. We don't really need new reforms or man made rules for our lives to be better, what we need' is a totally new heart. We know that. But I guess it is good to bring it to mind when talking about this big complicated subjects.
