“The International Space Station is an orbital turkey....No important science has come out of it. I could almost say no science has come out of it. And I would go beyond that and say that the whole manned spaceflight program, which is so enormously expensive, has produced nothing of scientific value.”
Prof. Steven Weinberg
Steven Weinberg was an American theoretical physicist and Nobel Laureate, known for his contributions to particle physics and cosmology.
This quote prompts reflection on the scientific value of large, expensive projects and calls for a critical view of the manned spaceflight program.
