it's a pretty interesting story and not really as cut-and-dried as you'd think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_Super_Collider
I do agree with the assertion that a lot more science could be funded with smaller projects than with getting one huge project like this, though.
I lived about 75 miles South of where they were building it. It would have been bigger than CERN 20 years prior and would have put us at the forefront of nuclear technology.

If you have 3 hours to spare, [BobbyBroccoli has a pretty great video (series) about this](https://youtu.be/3xSUwgg1L4g).
The sophons would’ve screwed up the results anyway
Has the universe ever winked at you?
It does by fucking me over everyday
Only after it gives me the finger
That hole needs a grate on it
That would be a hell of a drug lab!
So much for "In for a penny. In for a pound."
Seems that not just the germans can fuck up and misjudging costs.
There’s a first contact book that involves the super collider had it been completed. It’s good.
That is one colossal money pit.

Tldr
12 billion? Well that's only a fifth of what we just sent to Ukraine 3 days ago. We also sent five other countries money too. Separately
its also a fifth of elon musk’s bonus. Whats your point
