I said we haven't learned anything useful, not that we haven't learned anything.

Spending 750 billion dollars squared to confirm that moon is in fact as boring as it has always looked like it was from Earth is not learning anything useful. Spending 15 trillion dollars to send a go-bot to mars only to have it tip over and break transmission after looking at a handful of red rocks and space dust is not useful.

Sit down Nadcracker, because what I'm going to tell you right now will surely knock the wind out of you. Japanese sailors found a deep-water fuzzy lobster recently. A Lobster, with hair. Wrap your mind around it, Nadcracker. Long flowing locks of beautiful lobster hair.

So you have fun with your telescope and outer space snoozefest, and I'll be sitting back in my under-sea dome city watching crazy giant squids battle giant crabs just outside the glass. You heard me, there are giant squids down there Nadcracker, are you comfortable with allowing them to swim around all willy nilly without us knowing what they're up to? Well that's the kind of world we live today - all because Jokers like you want to wear fish bowls on your heads and walk on the moon. Space is a piece of shit and you know it.
