One last post about how astronomy aids mankind. Anybody remember late last year when the Sun was freaking out and hosing us with solar flares? Because there are a bunch of scientist up on the hill checking out the heavens we were able to know in advance that the Earth was about to get rocked by solar radiation. This gave people enough time to shut down satellites and save their electronics from the effects. This probably saved us millions of dollars and a huge headache. There are things out there that can affect us, and it's probably a good idea that we know about that stuff.
And besides like G.I. Joe says "Knowing is half the battle!"
