We're not talking about astrology. We're talking about astronomy. Keep that clear in your mind.
Astrology has to do with fortune telling.
Astronomy has to do with reality: looking at it, figuring it out.
As far as how much money is going into this, figure "not much". And for those who have a problem with that, why, exactly, do we
bother living if we don't have any fun?
More to the point, this is basic research. Someone around here has a sig "If we knew what we were going to get, we wouldn't call it 'research'." Leave it at that for now.
