h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I get the impression that there are sitll numerious privatly funded projects going on around the world. Physicists everywhere are scrambling to unravel the puzzle under thier noses. I'm not justifing a loss as great as this but sometimes the fed gov should look out for the best interest of the community as a whole and work on the most pressing problems at hand. It dose seem futile to turn back after an already huge investment, they never have been very cost concious.

Go figure I found something front page that caught my interest and it turned out to be you.
