Does the World really need another expensive toy for the physicists to play with? What practical benefit would be derived?
Note that China has previously said it was going to build one the same size, does the world need two?

What sort of space exploration program could be funded by that money? We could have a lander on Europa, a Moon base, etc.

I reckon you should pm everyone involved Glen, and tell them to sort their sh!t out, lay out your plans for space domination. :thumbsup:

The scientists really are determined to blow the Earth up aren't they, they didn't manage to create a black hole on Earth with the small one so lets go bigger! :(

I liked the comment by one of the scientists

"No one has to worry, the chances of creating a devistating black hole that would destroy the Earth are "slim""

I like the odds. Maybe it will be a little one and no risk to fall in it.
