Can someone give me good news? Maybe this is a fake story?

    They are doing space travel to send workers and the poor into space so they can clean up the earth and live here isolated from the lower classes who they will send to their deaths working on the moon or whatever.

    That is a certainly a theory but something that is only relevant maybe 100 or 200 years from now when space travel is as convenient and affordable as flying.

    Even if you could launch a 747(lets round to 500 passengers) to space every single day just to dispose of the poorest 1 billion people on the planet it would still take 5400 years to get it done.

        A single 747 to space is already about 100 times the current single launch capacity. If you scaled it another 100 times on top of that it would quickly become cheaper and easier to just do good old genocide. To be any more unrealistic than that is just going into the real of science fiction.

        For context only about 600 people reached orbit so far in over70 years.

          And you wonder why the billionaires are putting so much time and effort into solving this problem
