This is a particularly bad example of why the public sector should
lead in exploration. Because of the limited budget constraints JPL
labors under they built and flew only two of these. And after the two

Actually, the REASON that they are doing this is because RATIONAL people
just like me, and including myself, have pointed out the severe flaws
and clear illogic inherent in their philosophy of disposable hardware.

Actully, no, I don't. Asteroids also come to us regularly, in the form
of meteorites. These are amenable to clear in situ analysis as well.

But you want to add your "funny sentence" without contributing anything

You do not read the answers when somebody answers a detailed
explanation to your "small sentences". For instance when you
