While calling NASA’s “manned” space flight programs (such as Space Station) worthless with regards to science, Steven Weinberg calls NASA’s “unmanned” space flight programs (such as Martian probes Spirit and Opportunity, and earth-orbiting observatory Hubble Telescope) very important to the advancement of science.
