And yes pretty much all “space enthusiasts” are genocidal murderers because they constantly express a desire for the world’s wealth to go towards playing galactic tonka trucks than fixing issues like infant mortality and such.

people dying of hunger isn't a problem of lack of resources but of allocation of resources. we could fix world hunger and still send man to mars - if space travel and the quest to understand the universe don't fascinate you you are a hollow shell of a man



Au contraire, it is space enthusiasts who show the real coldness and lack of humanity. More concerned with running away from problems than learning how to construct a better planet.

Ah, yes, I forgot that there were no valuable resources in space.

Who gives a shit about the universe, honestly. It’s a bunch of shitty rocks separated by oceans of absolute nothingness. “Exploring” it is about the most cowardly thing we could do as a civilization.

Watching an episode of even the Jersey Shore is so much more rewarding and relevant than watching Sagan’s Cosmos or something, seriously.

A wise man once said that space colonization was the fantasy of those who can envision the end of the planet before the end of capitalism, it speaks to a real failure of imagination.

space fetishism is rly dumb. i will grant that. but its because space is an infinite abyss that bends the mind with its horror. false color, the beautiful images of space are as accurate a representation of reality as watercolor monsters drawn by a six year old

There's a lot of He3 just sitting on the moon, and mining outside of a gravity well is a lot easier too.

But I’m being deadly serious. It raises issues of class and gender and identity, and what it means to seek or achieve self-actualization in an atomized, capitalistic society.

As opposed to sperging out because of all this dumb arbitrary shit happening in far off places we will never go and will never have any bearing on us.

ive been missing the boat on trolling mormons. i dont think ive ever seen many on the internet, i assume it is because they are all manchildren who stay away from websites with swears but there are millions of them in this country, way more than there are jews or muslims, certainly a few must have trickled through
