Obviously I’m not talking about the oligarchical space tourism, but I do think there’s something to be said for just sending a human because we could. Sending humans to the moon accomplished little that couldn’t be accomplished by robots, but it was also fucking cool as hell

Lots of people saw the Tesla car commercial in space as "cool as hell" and it was subsidized by the same government that cut NASA's funding and canceled actually useful projects for comparable amounts of money.
