Space sucks, there's nothing even up there. There are plenty of places on Earth that haven't been explored yet, finish with this planet before you start looking at other ones, nerds.

We don't more junk. We got plenty enough junk on this plannet already. People wouldn't even make anything cool with it. Just more funco pops or some bullshit.
if were doing mining in space it cant be forced upon 5 year old chileren told to dig coltan with their fingernails, also cant justify destabilizing a country and digging up their forests cuz theres juicy lithium under it
we'll find a way. Don't worry about that.
oh you just elected a socialist? we just discovered your country is the ideal landing site for an asteroid containing 1.5T$ worth of platinum
Degrowth becomes possible on earth when industrialization moves to space
De growth is possible now. More possible if we do something about capitism
The quickest way to it is mining asteroids, that and nuclear power. Fight me.
I am with you about nucular power being a good way forward. I don't see how reducing resource prices by flooding the bmarket with space metals would do anything other than create induced demand. Suppose the price of plantim just goes through the floor, they are just going to start making plantnum soda cans just like how aluminum went from a precious metal to a cheap resource.
I am fine with metal overtaking plastic
Probably an improvement all round, but it isn't degrowth and is no way required for making things better.
