How expensive would it be to make similar spacecraft now?
Assuming it's relatively cheap, what could we learn from sending out thousands today?
We could learn that we are intergalactic litter bugs. We should stick with fixing polluting our inner space.
The only thing we can realistically pollute is our immediate orbit
Everything beyond would be impossible for us to pollute effectively even if we tried. You might not know this, but space is very very very big LMAO
OK, Zaphod.
