    Some people see "morality" as fluid or flexible. One person's morality might be someone else' s sin.
    Other people see adherence to morality as a barrier. If someone says "do NOT go into the forest, as there are bad things there,", SOMEONE is bound to go traipsing off into the woods to see for themselves if that is true or not.

    The world would be better off without some of those technologies.

    It seems that morality and ethics are not considerations when the technologies are produced.

    Luckily indeed as many of those "modern advances" come from Lucifer (the origin of luck)Yes, fools rush in where angels fear to tread. From the beginning, humankind, prompted by the devil, has wanted to become like God. Ergo, our exploration of the cosmos.

    Only God and the actor (through conscience) know if any particular act is a sin or not. I am of the opinion, however, that it is immoral and unethical to spend >$9 billion on the frivolous pursuit of scientific curiosity while there are people dying for lack of adequate nourishment, medical care, and other necessities of life.

    Yes, over the course of 11 years we have spent 9.6 billion on this satellite and I understand your concern about people who are struggling needing help as well. However, the US has spent $43 billion in foreign aid in during 2020 alone. This is certainly not a case of us blowing all our money on science while we ignore other countries/people in need. We also have two hospital ships that are deployed around the world at any given time to help communities in need, as well as Navy Seabees deployed all over the globe to help build struggling communities with things such as drilling wells for fresh water, building community centers and schools, and bringing in food banks. We also have organizations such as Unicef and the United Nations stepping in to help. The struggle isn't because help isn't available, but because of improperly run governments. If I remember correctly, Guam is a perfect example of this. We've sent them foreign aid and hurricane aid for years and have found that the government has been using the resources improperly or not allowing it to get to their people all together. We see this all over the world and is often the reason for the struggling people.

    Within the US, we have programs for those who are truly struggling. We also have opportunities for those who truly wish to get out of the struggle and are willing to put forward a little effort.

    I don't believe this is a case of the US just blowing all(or even the majority) of our tax dollars on science while we ignore other issues.

    Sounds a bit...Liberal. Libs are almost always bemoaning what the U.S. spends on military AND space programs. "We have hungry and homeless people on the streets, and we are spending HOW MUCH on space telescopes and exploring other planets??", some of them have said over the years...

    Yea. I know that some believe that Jesus Christ is a Liberal too. Of course, there are also some who think that only a fool would believe that God had become man, or even that there is a God.

    Caught a glimpse of the ISS last night, but just for a short while.
