    I think you’re right. Bit if we want a spacefaring civilization, this is the path to get there. I really wish someone else was leading the charge, but this is the world we live in.

    Sometimes it feels really lonely here on Lemmy, when it comes to space exploration. People are really negative about it, as if doing that takes away resources from making the world a better place. But it doesn’t! It’s a technological innovation program; the insights gained here can help improve life on Earth. And if we can move industry to space, Earth will be thankful.

      Musk is not the path to space. I can’t believe anyone would have such a limited imagination. I would hope we could do better than some childish capitalist.
