And this is the blog/site that brought Gerry Anderson's UFO to my attention. Haven't we learned anything?
Well what WOULD pay back the investment would be setting up some sort of asteroid impact defence. The various plans floated for that include snatching a small asteroid and putting it in a convenient orbit, perhaps around one of the Lagrange points, and then flinging it into an oncoming rogue asteroid.
That's a kind of expenditure that everybody should be able to get behind.
There is a short scifi story from the 1950s
With the premise that there is no back of the moon.
I thought our asteroid defense was to send Bruce Willis and a ragtag team of oil wildcatters to fly the space shuttle and blow it up.
