Musk's Hyperloop smoke and mirrors were only a small part of the problem with CAHSR.
The main issue is the intentional withering of state capacity, American incuriosity about non-anglo best practices, and a valuation of "management" expertise over subject matter expertise.
Weren't these clowns saying ten years ago, "Mars in 5 years!!!"? Lmao
Bro is like, 2 weeks, from unironically doing the Tim Curry
but for woke instead of capitalism.I really hope it does turn out that all the Starlink space junk is what ends up preventing humanity from leaving the planet, (at least until
kicks it)The fundamental existential question is whether humanity becomes sustainably multiplanetary before something happens on Earth to prevent that, for example nuclear war, a supervirus or population collapse that weakens civilization to the point where it loses the ability to send supply ships to Mars.
No mention of climate change which is gonna kill us way before that. muh population collapse we need more white people!
We are getting population collapse anyway in 50-100 years, and this is insufficient time for establishing a self-sufficient colony on Mars.
I almost want to vote for Harris now if it will stop Musk from going to Mars. Why is he making this sound palatable
I want to watch Musk go to Mars just so we can get a sequel to "A Libertarian Walks into a Bear."
"Commiefornia, am I right?"
