Thats worth 2 billion 
yes and if you dont understand the gravity of this and the enormous new leap we made for humanity than you have less backbone than a yellyfish.
You know its always people like you, suspicious of sience, but you people don't have a problem that a to kill some AK swinging turban wearing guy in douchbegistan costs close to 500k a pop - that's just dandy with you.
But that we spend 2 billion (which in the grand of things is fuck all) was spend to help humanity to reach a new understanding of themselves of the universe we life in, that's a little too much to comprehend for you.
You're just another one of these "lets jump on the bandwagon" guys that try to impress anybody who is stupid enough to listen to you with the half educated dribble that comes out of your mouth.
