I want to be excited, but techbro futurists like musk have ruined it for me. Once we fix the shit we've got going on down here then maybe there will be more to look forward to out there.
I always say in response to this point that we can probably do 2 things at once, there are 8 billion of us. We could probably stretch to fixing 8 things simultaneously if we really wanted to.
Idk man, recent events have led me to think that only a small percentage of us actually has the power to do anything significant. Sure, ideally we can all band together and reach for the stars ™️ but that's not gonna happen if most of us are struggling to even survive
It always baffles me when people say that we gotta fix everything on Earth before we go to space when countless inventions and innovations that make our modern lives even remotely possible are a direct result of space travel. Just to name a few; disease and medical research, better understanding of physics, advances in computing, GPS, weather prediction and tracking, solar panels, and the Internet. You don't have to get excited, but to say we shouldn't go to space is a very short sighted argument.
We have no way of testing to see where our world would be if we'd made different decisions.
That said, I'd leave all you fucks in an instant to be put into stasis on a ship.
I don't even need the ship, just put me in stasis for a couple thousand years. Maybe then I'll finally wake up rested
The goal would be to wake up in the future. It'd better be some scifi Utopia, too.
Wait, you guys wake up?
I only want to wake up if we have badass space drugs.
I mean I don’t like that Haber made chlorine gas, but I like fertilizer. I’m happy that I have fertilizer, but Haber can go fuck himself for his role in chemical warfare.
I’m pretty hyped about having food.
I’m pretty hyped about Starship too.
Imagine having beef with an exothermic reaction
Gotta do both at once. Fix the problems and get all the eggs out of a single basket.
