Maybe you need first the idiots list of bad ways to spending tax money
Military: $640bn (per year)
War on drugs: $41bn (per year)
Health-care overcharging & overtesting: $1200bn (per year)
And this is just the US, now imagine those costs worldwide.
So, in contrast, this is a first-time-experiment where we get to do something never done before, using a lot of tech in brand new conditions (for us) where thousands put to test their knowledge of physics, electronics and astronomy. In such light you might understand why you are being downvoted.
