I will talk about big basic science projects and the huge tax payers money required, and in particular what is involved in setting up and running a large expensive space program, where there is no very obvious return to the man-in-the-street.
This is a very real and important question for humanity. I will discuss and will present a personal view on the rationale of why we should continue to make such investments in basic research and astrophysics and the consequences of this to the general public.
