What is fascinating...

is not what they will discover. But the tools they use. How they go about doing it. One question how does one increase research in this area? How do you make this kind of science easily accessible like programming.

or are we going to rely capitalism to foster this research? With so many possible failures will cash ever be sufficient motive to advance this research? How can we make this a garage science?
