Well, we do need a lot of cash in that nation building fund. Some things are going to have to go.

From slashdot:
By my calculations at $166 million a day to be in Iraq, the US government could save the Voyager's first year's $4.5 million by leaving Iraq 39 minutes early.
39 minutes to save 28 years of effort.

Paul Allen could save these missions with his lunch money.
They would also compliment his other spaceship.
He could start a collection of spaceships by supporting them and in return they can let him put his name on them like his telescope array.
Too bad Gates is such a house nerd with no ambitions like him.

-$4.2m a year
-Voy. 1 and 2 are 14 billion and 11 billion km from Earth
-launched in 1977
-another 15 years of life left in them

My point is that we won't be getting probes that deep into space for a while to come, why throw away such a resource particularly when it costs so little (comparatively) to run. Yes their technology is long obselete, but it's all we've got out there. It's the farthest we've sent man-made technology as of yet.

I agree with you completely. I was being sarcastic...

I can't believe how they can shut off one of their most succesful spacecrafts in history. I've grown up with the beautiful images from Voyager. :icon33:

Yes, but the cumulative savings is $4.2 million/year * 15 years = $63 million. that's just over a third of a day in Iraq. The US would have to leave Iraq before suppertime.

its all about priorities.
Naturally, inflicting war throughout this world far outweighs the value of scienctific data which could give us more insight into the evolution of the universe
[i]And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command, we shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine patris, et fili, et spiritus sancti.[/i]
