There was a lot of nonsense in this speech. A heart marching toward the Universe? The Taupe people didn't even have a satellite when the others already had spaceships.
The yearly funding for this area amounted to just one or two hundred million, lower than the ticket revenue from a few concerts of a popular star!
"You can't just say the technology is inadequate or that there isn't enough funding allocated to launch a satellite, right?"
"Welcome the civilization from another Milky Way to communicate?"
Astronomer O'Brien turned his head away. How could these politicians be so shameless?
He pondered deep in his heart, if he spread this news and let all Taupe people know about the existence of an alien civilization, maybe the funding for the space industry would significantly increase? Without a hundred billion a year, there would still be several tens of billions, which could directly multiply by dozens of times.
