    I wish billionaires would have an Earth race instead of a space race, where they compete based on restoring as many acres of habitat, preventing or pushing back desertification, or otherwise trying to help the planet we all live on.

    Instead they spend that money on creating thousands of tons of C02 emissions on competing, private space companies.

    I know people that watch entire SpaceX launch videos that are just PR and footage of grainy rocket boosters. I would much rather watch a video of someone explaining how they helped restore a small forest or prairie ecosystem.

      Imagine how better the world would be if the Western countries made an effort to help people to one up China and dunk on Xi, but even that is too much for them. Capitalists are the laziest people in existence.
