OK,ok, the money issue. Who is the first, the biggest, etc. Definitely a different problem, but I still feel this exploration project is worth it from the objective, big picture side. 50 years, or pick your own number, from now when I am long dead, man as a whole will benefit from these efforts, no matter who pays the bill. We today use things invented many years ago in laboratories as research for other uses. Plastics, for one, and many to numerous to mention.

Maybe a lousy answer, but about as close as I can put my feelings to words, something I admit my difficulty in doing, Cheers~
