Wanted: A Gravedigger for NASA?

[Uryoces]

South Polar Atiken basin has a large concentration of water ice in the perpetual shadows there. The Clementine mission found it. Why? Moving out into the solar system. I could just as easily say that the supercollider is a waste of money in that it's pure estoeric science with no application whatsoever. A lunar colony is a fairly pragmatic thing; we'd be moving out into the solar system, not placing all of our eggs in one basket.

The quantum physics drving new, experimental compouter technology would function just fine without the supercollider. I say we do more with the technology we have before we start to create quantum computational systems that will suck even more power out of overloaded grids.
