It says 1.2 billion in this website but i'm not so sure........
When the Spitzer Space Telescope was first designed, it was going to cost over two billion dollars. Due to some clever design and orbit changes the total cost has dropped to $720 million, which includes all costs from 1996 through launch and initial checkout, including early concept and feasibility studies.Please visit the related link below for more.
Yes, he spent a good amount of time studying it amongst other things
Edwin Hubble was born on November 20, 1889, in Missouri. He grew up in an academic environment due to his father's job as an insurance executive and his mother's passion for literature. Hubble showed an early interest in science and enjoyed stargazing during his childhood, which eventually led to his groundbreaking work in astronomy.
The money raised from donations after the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami was primarily spent on emergency relief efforts such as providing food, clean water, shelter, and medical assistance for the affected communities. Additionally, funds were used for long-term reconstruction and rehabilitation projects to rebuild infrastructure, schools, and healthcare facilities in the affected regions.
Yes, money spent on wildlife conservation is money well spent. Biodiversity is vital for ecosystem functioning, providing essential services like clean water, air, and pollination. Maintaining biodiversity helps ensure the resilience of ecosystems in the face of climate change and other threats, benefiting both wildlife and humans in the long term.
Possibly, but the only "better" alternative would have been to leave that money in the pockets of the taxpayers rather than wasting it on things even less useful that the Hubble. And whatever else the money might have been spent on certainly would NOT have produced the fabulous photos that the Hubble has produced; in terms of the "value" of the photos, the Hubble photo archive has cost taxpayers mere pennies per photo per taxpayer, a better investment than most other government "investments" such as the John Murtha Airport in Pennsylvania. Basic scientific research - UNDIRECTED research - always pays off in unexpected ways. In the case of the Hubble Space Telescope, the payoff may be that it contributes, however slightly, to the survival of the human race.

Andrew Carnegie how he spent his money
Money spent on the drug war?
I don't understand. Do you have a problem with the people that make the movies spending their money to make it? Athletes get paid a lot, TV stars get paid alot Where will this end? Personally I have less of a problem with the money that is spent making movies then I have with the money the government seems to make disappear. Food for thought. This seems like a question that is asking for an opinion.
The problem is that money spent on the poor doesn't solve the problem at all.
