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.
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.
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.

I’m pretty hyped about having food.
I’m pretty hyped about Starship too.
