NASA has announced that it gave Lockheed Martin the job of building the next new spaceship. BILLIONS of dollars, people. BILLIONS. That's ten to the nine!
As most people know, I'm vehemently opposed to most of NASA's space exploration program, as I feel it takes away much needed money from legitimate science based research. Most of the experiments on board these missions are usually trivial, and basically there for PR.
What also bothers me is that Lockheed Martin is one of the biggest arms makers in the world.
With a lot of good science research getting slashed by the NSF, and the state of particle physics (and other fields) in a complete shambles it kind of sickens me to know that PR really does rule the world.
