Are the rovers on Mars cool as hell?

Absolutely.

Why do we need to wait every 10 years to launch a new one?

Like, why aren't we launching these things every year?

Why don't we have 10 telescopes out there looking out at different galaxies?

Why don't we have rovers on...

Venus, and on Mars?

Why do we have to wait X number of years for the helicopter to tour Titan, for example?

Planetary science is a great thing they're doing.

It's approximately a third of the budget is science at NASA.

Like, why aren't we doing a lot more with it?

Like, can we get more mileage out of approximately $7 billion a year?

I bet you can, right?

And that's because for every one or two kind of big flagship things, there's lots of little things that may not be as important.

And the big flagship things, because they're defined as at least a billion-dollar program, become very expensive and take a long time because you can't get them wrong.

And that's part of the problem.

So like science is an important thing they should be working on.

You just should be getting a lot.

The American people are eager for world-changing headlines.

We should be delivering it all the time and not every 10 years.
