What the hell is happening in America?


Borrow and spend has ruined us. But with the matter of space exploration it's been a shortsighted Congress with both parties at fault for ending manned spaceflight.


No doubt - and it's the fault of both sides - the only difference is who the party in charge hands the money too.

What's worse is that aerospace technologies (and their spin-offs) really raised the standard of living for people on this planet - and without increased investment, we're going to lose those advances to other nations.

Just to get back on topic - the article doesn't load for me, but the telescope can't be 1,000 times sharper than Hubble.

Hubble is a mostly visual wavelength (infrared through x-ray) telescope, but the Russian one is a radio spectrum telescope.

Bingo. The headline by RT was comparing apples to oranges.

The Hubble has a big flat end with a lid, like an open can of beans. The Russians have a pointy end, therefore 1,000 time "sharper".
