  • Humanity has 3 purposes in my opinion. 1- make and consume art (in whatever form that may be). 2- protect life. 3- explore. We have always wanted to visit new places, go to new frontiers. Yes, we can lessen the strain on earth by better resource management, moving away from destructive practices.

    We aren’t going to stay just on this rock. And whoever gets their first might have a bigger say in what life is like beyond earth. The Soviets, Americans, China, they all knew the value in ensuring we aren’t just stuck here and we actually progress.

    It’s probably what I’m most passionate about. And it upsets me when someone casts aside an entire academia because “we don’t need it” or “it’s too hard”. What do they want? Just to be stagnant and have the same life as previous generations? What’s the point?

    China needs to step it up, fuck really any government needs to step it up. Because if not China, it’s going to be the US or some billionaire loser who will set up slave camps and ensure Raytheon gets their money for installing missile launchers on the moon or something stupid.


  • Depressing. Earth is clearly already on a death spiral. I consider it only natural for humanity to spread, and stagnation leads to issues like we are dealing with now. Resource shortage, climate change, pollution.

    All our eggs in one basket is a bad idea. In a just world, NASA or rather any space agency would have 10x or more the funding they do now. A lot of the data we have on the changing climate comes from these agencies.

    And absolutely fuck having any psychopathic CEO use his resources to force humans into Mars before it’s ready in the name of profits or some stupid show of force.

    Mars can’t be terraformed now, so we should be focusing on how to mitigate the dangers to earth, get better at going to space with less cost, and getting more people into careers that actually contribute to humanity like engineering, medicine and no more fucking “Business degrees”.






  • I feel like this is counter productive and a bit strawman. Don’t get me wrong, I know this is coming from a good place.

    The CIA does bad things, this is true. Horrible things. They do it through any any and every medium. Let’s say vaccinations were never thought up by whatever CIA ghoul originally decided that. The same thing would have been done regardless. Maybe through fake clinics. Food banks that secretly collect DNA. A false flag chemical weapon attack that “requires medical treatment for all affected”. They would have found a way.

    You should distrust the American government because they have done incalculable damage to the world, in every way imaginable. You should also distrust big pharma. Not because they push poison, (sometimes but not always) you should hate them because they profit off of the labor and expertise of thousands of scientists, doctors, engineers and all other workers.

    Anti-vax sentiment is still a danger in the western world, pushed by " individualists" who believe “it’s my child, my rights!” And don’t understand how their actions affect the communities they live in.



  • This is the worst future. I love space, I love space travel and I do truly believe expanding out to the stars is inevitable for humanity. But the governments of the world with space capable craft are either underfunded or too busy bailing out billionaire vanity projects.

    I have zero confidence that this man or his circlejerk corporate stooges can get ANYTHING to land on Mars. Nor will he be able to get anyone there safely. He has no serious plan for this, he’ll just throw his slave-labor money at a group of recent aerospace engineering graduates and tell them to figure it out, as long as it’s under budget, of course.
