What the fuck are you going to even do with all that money? I guess "use it to make even more money", but there's a point where profit for profit's sake becomes a hollow pursuit.

The fact that they're asking for $1,000,000.00 is still kinda shady, though. Didn't they do all of this based on grants? What would that million bucks even do if they got it?

+1, the only sign that humanity ever existed in 10.000 years will be the lifeform that we will create - the thinking machines...
but there's no reason to be sad, we will be the dinosaurs of the next age

There is a point where it's too late.

As a species we will run ourselves into the ground long before we gain any conclusive understanding of the universe, let alone develop the technology to explore it. For someone so fascinated in space such as myself & I assume some of the people browsing this board it is heartbreaking but a simple, mostly probable assumption that humans will be extinct within the next 1000 years or so, as an estimate.

Engineering major here. I'm getting really tired of this shit. Every fucking week it's the same shit. Go to class, study, take test, repeat. It's bullshit. What's the point of learning all this stuff if we're gonna forget anyway? I can't even remember what classes I took my freshman year of college. Iv'e lost interest in math. Can you believe I actually liked it once?

Who else feels me?

I think those same cliche statements like "there's no way I can do that!" or "omg! you're such a genius!" are just used in a social sense, similar to the other hundreds of cliche statements that we use everyday. Little to no thought is given as to the meaning of what comes out of people's mouths, as long as they say something appropriate or befitting to that situation. This is due to this irrational fear of that thing that people call an "awkward silence". At the end of the day it's difficult to generalize people's level of intelligence, that essentially comes down to the person. Besides, if the majority of people fit your understanding of intelligence, then your understanding is flawed. Intelligence by nature is relative, not average.
