Why do you think we, as a society, care more about Hollywood
than the Curiosity Rover exploring Mars? Society has always been obsessed with
the rich and famous. People become famous in today's world by their publicity
and media such as in movies and Hollywood is central to that. With TV shows and
magazines that follow the stars we all know what is happening in Hollywood. Who cares what is happening on planets?
Planets are small in comparison to stars. All though planets are important to
the scientific world, people in general are very shallow and don't care about
knowledge for the sake of knowledge. What they really want is entertainment and
unless science can become entertaining it will never compete with
Hollywood. Put Jack Sparrow on Mars or have Lindsay Lohan get a DUI on
Mars then maybe someone would care. So why do you think we, as a society, care
more about Hollywood than the Curiosity Rover exploring Mars? I don’t know why society cares so much about
Hollywood but Hollywood makes money and until what happens on Mars can make
money, society in general won’t hear about it and won’t care. Money talks and Hollywood listens, maybe if
Mars rover had a Hollywood agent someone would listen.
