In summary, the scientists are not sensible, and they would not be able to afford to go into space if they were sensible.

Sensible :bugeye: Good gods man, we work in universities!

Scientists are NOT sensible. If we were, we would have been bussiness majors. No expense or effort is to great to tap into that great spirit of discovery. Which going into space really does well.
