    There aren't even infinite resources in space :agony-shivering: and it takes a fuckton of resources to acquire resources from extraterrestrial sources :agony-acid:

        there’s more than we would know what to do with anyway

        Pretty sure fuckers were saying this 70 years ago, also 50 years ago, also 20 years ago... About resources on Earth.
