Did you bother to check for any discoveries or did you just assume?

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15806746

Complete list of 170 discoveries and 23 reviews made possible by ISS.

Just because you don't hear about it in the mainstream media doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Thank you.

“ISS maximizes today’s scientific resources and substantially increases the opportunity to obtain much longed-for answers on the effects of microgravity and long-term exposure to space.”

My personal comment is “I don’t care.” I rather our money be spent on finding cancer cures and other cures for horrible diseases here on earth.

I don’t care about “microgravity and long-term exposure to space.”

What is the percent of the population that is going to fly out into space?

Just about zero.

I’m not against space travel, but when it comes down to trying to learn turning pee into water is more than I can take and rings a bell that this whole thing is no longer about learning. It has become an expensive habit using our tax money.
