Why Two Pounds Of Dirt From Mars Costs $9 Billion | So Expensive | Insider

The Perseverance rover began a two-year mission to collect Martian soil samples this year. It's the first of three missions, jointly sponsored by NASA and ESA, aiming to bring Martian soil back to Earth in hopes of finding evidence of past life. The total costs of the missions will likely exceed more than $9 billion.

[@minaise]

Kinda too agressive but must agree. That moment attacked my intelligence. I guess an easy mistake to make when you have been editing video(I still dont understand how mirrors work - I move my left hand but in the mirror it's evidently the right one). You guys need to escalate the issue to management and the head of the team should get a talking about taking responsibility of the work done. 10mins to watch a video for final proofing and actually appreciating the output his team is producing should be on every managers tasklist

[@Aedar]

To everyone saying it's a "waste": To make the math simpler, let's pretend it's only USA that's paying the bill. Spread out 9 billion to the US population? It's about 26 bucks, spread out over years, more than a decade. Not really much when you look at it this way. Could it be used in US on other things like helping the homeless? Sure, but, again spread out over the years, it wouldn't make a very big difference. There are many different places where the US government could save money if it wanted to. I suggest you google US military budget as well as NASA budget...

[@Milk-ew4pf]

do people still think NASA still uses 25% of the us budget or something

[@debrabarnhardt1103]

Of course the military budget is bloated, but this not an either or proposition. NASA began as an offshoot of the military and competition with the USSR. From the beginning people questioned the expense. I have lived long enough to see the growing inequities in the USA, the looming climate catastrophe worsening daily, and the extinction of so many forms of life. I now question ALL this spending. $26 repeated 10 times is $260. That is a month's groceries, or a doctor bill or a car repair- all things people WHO WORK are struggling to pay. Are you suggesting that those people "should die and decrease the surplus population"? Those of you wondering about the expense (and damage to the environment) with these programs, you should wonder.

well did you ever hear about chemistry? The whole point of chemistry is converting one material to another with a reaction xDD i really dont know why you are so flashed by this. you can convert really really much to oxgen (everything carbon based, bascially every ore or unfine metal), the only special part about this is that they only use a pretty small refinery for this in space xD

[@Rolhenw]

you just need to put electricity, for example a batterie, in water to convert it to oxygen. at the one side there will be pure Oxygen and at the other there will be pure Hydrogen
