Next Monday NASA is crashing an expensive spacecraft on an inexpensive asteroid.
(Or: Your taxes at work.)
But watch this video, courtesy of the Wall Street Journey, and be scared, very scared.
Watch it again, and be even more scared.
As a (foolish, but hey!) consolation about the cost of NASA’s crash, that things in the USA are not all that bad compare what it’s elsewhere, you can watch the video, that goes then on to cover the expense of the Japan Olympics, the most expensive ever, that was the equivalent quite a few billions of dollars, and got none of the expected revenues in compensation, because the games played to the empty expensive new facilities, as no one other than the athletes and other essential persons were allowed to go there, thanks to covid, and people wouldn’t or be allowed to travel to Japan for the same reason.
And then there is the video on how much the British Monarchy costs the Brits: a few dollars per year per head. But Charles, now the King, has been promising to cut this cost considerably.
And other expensive issues involving taxpayers money somewhere.
And then about the leaky NASA’s Moon rocket.
Etc., etc. Great show! If not as encouraging as one would prefer to watch to learn about how things are going in our world.
