scienta? Maybe "scientia"?

Hm, it is possible we have here more misspellings. No sens.
Bagsiden, could you check your source?

Hi Aneta B. You are right. I wrote it wrong. Scientia is spelled with "ia". Thank You. Bagsiden

But, is the rest ok?

Yes. In the original source it looks as if there are three parts: Non lucror - Exposita scientia - Ad astra.

Ad astra must be "to the stars or towards the stars". The Latin words comes from a spacerocket-factory in Denmark, so the last part makes sense. But I can't figure out the meaning of the first parts ...

Everything is clear now. This is not a whole sentence, but three different expressions (not connected with each other). You should have put the dashes.

I will edit, ok?

Thank you, Aneta B. It was fun trying this translation site. And I think I can translate further into Danish:

Ingen profit - læg viden frem - mod stjernerne

Best regards

You're welcome. But I would wait for evaluation by English expert now.

I'm afraid the two last sentences shouldn't have been translated according to rule 4.

I don't think so, dear. Even if these are separated phrases, they are connected in some way... This is a slogan such as "God, Honor, Fatherland", but there is no lack of a verb in this case...

If you say so, I believe you, my dear Latin expert.
