Tech doesn't exist in a vacuum, and in the west especially, it's an increasingly grifty publicly funded private enterprise that bullshits more than it delivers, and what it delivers is often for military ends.

It's neither particularly pro-Marxist nor anti-Marxist.

Did you even read the comments there? It's bootlickery and running interference for billionaires there, which lines up with the privatized and grifty condition of space inquiry in the west.

Should we A) colonise other planets or B) build habitats in the middle of space, like O'Neill Cylinders and stuff? - Hexbear
