    If you think of space exploration as an "Elon Musk thing" that says more about you than anything, IMO

    Soviets pioneered space exploration. You're internet poisoned, you have no functioning mind left.

      I mean, there's just one person out there constantly talking about going to Mars and it's the Muskrat. Anyone who talks about ”colonizing planets” as if it's something that's actually going to happen is deeply unserious.

        Depends on what timescale you're talking about. e.g. if we keep building stuff for 1000 years (barring a catastrophe) then it'll presumably happen.

        Normal political thikning is different because it isn't on that kind of timescale.

          I was thinking within my lifetime, basically, which is also the timescale where climate change really starts to hit.

        Who cares if he's noisy on mainstream media?

        Don't let shit like that distract you, that's what they want.

      I'm positive the soviet union didn't posit space exploration as the key solution to ecological overshoot, depleting energy and mineral reserves, demographic collapse, and climate apocalypse. This is what is central to bazinga theory. You don't need to solve any contradiction. You don't need to make choices. Just, uh, genetically engineer robots who will terraform random planets for us. Yeah. That's the plan.
