De Grasse on telescope

PZ Myers linked this today, it is so true.



The telescope is so important but for largely for reasons people don't realise. This scares me, science won't get the funding for the projects like the LHC or Hubble in the future unless the public understands, even if vague and unfounded, what questions these things answer and why.

It would be great if there were scientists and engineers in the American Congress, instead of just lawyers and businessmen...
