Space used to be inspiring when it was the playground of scientists and engineers. What made it all vomit was the privatization of astronautics (and the associated place in our imaginations) to the worst possible assholes and their cult of personality.
SpaceX is a garbage company that only proves my point. It’s a leech of taxpayers’ money for private gains.
NASA has achieved much more, much more time ago. If it wasn’t for the brain-drain caused by SpaceX, and the cashflow that was directed away from it, it could’ve been much more useful.
Now all we get is the dickhead and his followers exploding rockets “to Mars” (lmao) for shits and giggles.
We have crises here that are only exacerbated by this dumb need to send people to space.
The human race is capable of doing more than one thing at a time. That we aren’t working on solving our many crises has nothing to do with whether or not we’re in space. You’re tying together two issues that have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
Do you think rockets burn unicorn farts and exhaust pixie dust?
We have enough morons sending their penis extensions to space for shits and giggles, we do not want to “start manufacturing in space” so capitalists can fuck the climate up even more for the rest of us.

By that logic, pretty much any activity we do exacerbates the crisis. The climate is not being fucked because we’re launching rockets, save your passion for those issues where it actually matters.
Why? Why do we need to pollute the earth even more so that the capitalists can gain more capital outside of it?

Bingo.
I’m fine with national space programs and whatnot.
I’m not fine with private sector in space.
Are you aware of just how much of NASA’s budget was being drained for bullshit ‘cost+’ contracts with Boeing et al?
Elon sucks, but spacex has progressed space tech significantly, at a much lower cost than before.
National space programs are great, but the US turned them into a kickbacks program.

Speak for yourself.
