We don't need science. All we need is more nukes.

NASA hasn’t done much in 50 years. They should be completely shut down.

I’d love to see this person who said nasa hasn’t done much in 50 years. Just to see the face of someone who thinks like this.

LANL is filled with them. They just look like younger engineering/coder types. They don't get the "science thing"

Trump, who is in charge of the second-largest nuclear stockpile in the world, made the shock statement in an interview with Fox News' Sunday Morning Features, telling the broadcaster: 'The level of destruction is beyond anything you can imagine.'

He said: 'We spend a lot of money of nuclear weapons - the level of destruction is beyond anything you can imagine.

'It's just bad that you have to spend all this money on something that if it's used, it's probably the end of the world.'

You could destroy the world 50 times over, 100 times over. And here we are building new nuclear weapons, and they're building nuclear weapons.'

He added: 'We're all spending a lot of money that we could be spending on other things that are actually, hopefully, much more productive.'

He isn’t wrong. It’s been a monumental waste of human effort. Of course the issue is getting everyone to honestly agree to arms reduction.

Russia, China and the US, each having a 100 nukes, is more than enough.

There need to be so few that if an accidental (or otherwise) war happens, it doesn’t annihilate the planet.
