Space program quote
This morning on The Current, a CBC radio show, Bob MacDonald (the CBC’s science commentator and host of the brilliant show Quirks and Quarks), was asked to justify the expense of the space program. Among other things, he said:
“It costs NASA less to send a probe to Mars than it would cost Hollywood to make a movie about it”
