Whenever I look at the stars i think about how humanity could be united in exploring space, working together on large scale projects like building a Dyson sphere, terraforming planets, making plans and advancements to preserve humanity for millenniums to come. Instead we're stuck on this small ball, still struggling with issues like hunger, poverty, etc that feel like should have been issues long gone by now but aren't because some greedy fucks are deciding to make people suffer for their own personal gain. The planet is dying and its starting to feel things are too far gone at this point. I know I'm being a bit of a doomer but I can't help feeling that all of our futures have been robbed.
yeah I feel this. when I was a kid the books talked about how we'd have a moon colony by 2020
