[QUOTE="Arecaidian Fox, post: 8532522, member: 334622"] I hate to say it, but scientific advancement has almost always been driven by the military machine. Space travel and rocketry? Thank the Germans and the V2. And then thank the Soviets, since without their own advancements, the American people and politicians would have almost certainly never created NASA out of fear of getting bombed from orbit (the Americans were originally fine just having the V2 tech, the military and politicians didn't really consider scientific advancement or space travel just for the sake of it). While I totally support people taking a stance on what their work is used for (even while at a large multinational company, where it's "not your work"), the fact of the matter is that with the world as it is now, war will continue to be what drives a large chunk of scientific progress. As sad as that is. [/QUOTE]

You just got to have thick skin and ignore people online if you don't agree or dislike. The internet is full of clowns.
