Skype chat with scientist

On Thursday we had a Skype chat with the scientists involved in the meerKAT and SKA project we asked them loads of questions and got a lot of information from each question. We talked for a long time from 11:00-11:50

Here are some of the questions we asked and the answers

• Do you have proof that you are going to find something?
• Well we have found things with smaller telescopes so we know we will be able to find things with bigger telescopes.
• Why are governments donating so much money if you have no proof that you are going to find something?
• Governments are donating money because it's a big project to be part of  and it means people spending money and lot's of building so it's good for the economy.
