+ 1 Progress or what?

It was announced a couple of days ago that the first ever Probe had reached the Sun’s outer atmosphere and its Corona.
Since the announcement was made, I’ve heard several skeptical voices stating it all is a load of bullshit and just a scheme, lying to gullible people and getting money. That in reality no spacecrafts are flying up there but what we are shown is just a pretty picture.
What do you think?

Exactly.! They've been trying to convince us for years that Earth is a round. We all know that's a lie.

Makes no sense. If it were round, how could it sit on the back of the Cosmic Turtle?

Dammit! I wish I read this a few months ago. You would have saved me a lot of money. Plus, I still can’t get by bath tub clean.

As I understand "Birds are not real" is a parody movement, "fighting lunacy with lunacy", mocking the ones obsessed with the conspiracy theories.

I think all you's people need to go to school. There are unfathomable amounts of spin off tech we have gotten from the space program. Medical monitoring equipment, electronic miniaturization, insolating materials, navigation, weather forecasting, atmospheric study, Tang... things that have saved lives and made life a lot easier. Humans can't live on earth forever. No matter how green we become, the sun will eventually eat the earth. The survival of earthlings depends on space colonization.

Right you are, military and space industry has given more discoveries than science has ever come up with

WTF? Do you think Captain America is real?

ARPAnet, the precursor to the internet, was developed by military tech.
Digital Cameras, a spinoff from military tech
GPS, a spinoff from military tech
Drones, you guessed it, a spinoff from military tech
Duct tape, another spinoff from military tech
Microwaves (magnetron) developed for radar systems are a spinoff from military tech that are now used in microwave ovens.
Jet engines; a spinoff from military tech
Super Glue and Canned food are also spinoffs from military tech

The list is endless.

If only we were socialists. That wouldn't happen. Right comrade?

It's all bs. You can tell it's all computer generated graphics. Their videos obviously look so fake. NASA's budget for 2021 is $23.3 BILLION. That's their way of funneling money into who knows what, and who knows who.

Here's just one video showing "astronauts" dropping objects in so-called "zero gravity" aboard the International Space Station

Just think of how many starving and abused children in around the US that could help & save, look after and rehome. Education programmes, drug rehabilitation centres, vaccination drives, shelters it could sort out rather than this stupid obsession with Space which is completely irrelevant to any of our lives right now. $23 BILLION DOLLARS .....

Your words make sense, however, if we think deeper, progress brings much profit to us all. Imagine where we all would have been if Fleming had not discovered penicillin, or Columbus hadn't sailed across the world.

True!
