>Can someone explain why there's 100s of millions if not billions thrown into space exploration? Whilst on earth it would be better spent babysitting people?

Look at what aircraft carriers did to battleships and then consider what orbital ordinance could do to aircraft carriers.

>>29198041
You’re retarded, op

>>29198041
What do you think is more profitable and more useful to the human race:

>Saving a bunch of retards who literally accidentally poison themselves to death just because it's cold
>Achieving interplanetary travel and colonizing an entirely new planet or group of planets

If you can answer this question then you can answer your own.

you are stupid

>>29198041
Space isn't real, and they're terrified of people finding out that NASA and other world space agencies are cover ops for black budgets and slush funds.

>>29198041

Space exploration get us somewhere, babysitting people who can't look after themselves doesn't.

>>29198381
The first. The latter will never be realistic. We aren't even colonizing the moon or made a base there. Yet people want to go to Mars which is hundreds of times further than the moon. Not going to happen.

>>29198451
bingo

>>29198381
Saving retards > sending retards to a dead planet

>>29198041
No, we should give more money to 70IQ subhumans and trans indoctrination camps.

>>29198041
The problem is the use of the word "we". There is no we. There is a team of people responsible for landing shit on Mars, they succeeded. There is another team of people responsible for keeping the lights on in Texas; they failed. Fuck your "WE"!

>>29198165
this.
NASA is nominally a civilian space program, but you definitely know they're doing some military research
SpaceX also has defense contracts

BIZ is definitely full of dumbs. 100% from previous ATH in 2017 and you call this top? GL shorting this. stay homeless forever.
My wallet is working with me and I know how to get my profit now

>>29198041
Haha fuck Texas

>>29198540
>t. retard who doesn't know what terraforming is and actually believes we're never going to colonize Mars

>>29198165
Nukes already trump carriers retard. You have no idea what the real military space project are for.

>>29198041
Utility companies are run by jews who can't be bothered keeping their shit in working order because it's more profitable to assume bad weather will never happen, and then you have a perfect excuse to gouge customers who still have power when bad weather does happen.
Space exploration is funded by people who genuinely want to see progress, even if for inherently selfish reasons (e.g. wanting all that space gold for themselves.)

>>29198041
Because the smart people want to get away from retards like the ones who can't even keep the power grid working and there is nowhere left on Earth they can go to do it, that's why.

>We can't keep the electricity on in Texas
Because of a lack of regulations and cost-cutting. Texas is basically like China kek you faggots get what you deserve.

The US Budget for a year like around 3-4 trillion dollars. NASA is given like 2-3 billion. BLM gets 10 billion. So shut the fuck up

>>29198490
>1000 lbs
>hungry
Yeah, sure buddy

>>29198041
There's nothing in space except for rocks and balls of gas. All aliens are demonic entities

Dumbass. Technology and scientific advancements from things such as space exploration end up slowly moving to consumer applications.

>>29198041
Good point

Solid point

>>29198635
>Nukes already trump carriers retard
Nukes have pretty limited utility in modern warfare because they’re an all in response, as soon as you initiate a nuclear conflict then everyone is in shit. Modern militaries would much rather avoid them for more targeted solutions
> You have no idea what the real military space project are for.
Yeah no shit, lmao, there are probably only a few thousand people on the planet that know that, and they don’t post on 4chan.

because space is not for you silly willy

>>29198041
Because space exploration is for important for the future of humanity.

>>29198041
Because not everyone wants to be stuck on this rock.
I just wish they wouldnt act like a bunch of monkeys fucking a football. We would have been putting men in space by the thousands by now if the would just do it like spacex.

>>29198041
fuck you op

>>29198451
>Space isn't real
can you explain this, without some flat earth bullshit

>>29198041
People like this play dumb but then continue to vote for politicians like Biden and Harris, and continue parroting whatever pseudo-intellectual mass media outlet is shilling them at the time.

Technological progress always comes at somewhat of a social cost. You'll never reach the stars if you keep your eyes on the ground.

>>29198041
Space isn't real lol

>>29198494

Not at this rate no.

>>29198041
Good bait. No one can be this stupid unless you're an American then ignore.

>>29198451
This is the truth. For you small brain fags who just start yelling flat earth, the earth doesn’t need to be flat for a billion dollar jewish controlled agency to lie to you and take your money.

>>29198553

Save this image friends and always remember Whitey On The Moon

Dont be retarded.

Nasa uses 26 billion dollars a year.

Niggers on foodstamps use that every month

>>29198041
Can someone explain why there's 100s of millions if not billions thrown at niggers? Whilst on planets in the same solar system, vast unfathomable quantities resources and minerals untouched on the cold is normal?

>>29199009
Earth is a realm/dimension it has no actual shape. It appears spherical to our instruments though. There is no "space" above the sky, it's a gradient of existence. The further "away" from the earth you go, the less you exist

AYO SPACE IS RACIS

>>29198041
> same country who spends it
> implying it's only government
pretty sure SpaceX is also funding/working with NASA.

>>29199321
Dude, you need to lay off the weed.

Ahahaha, no America is leaving everyone behind. A US citizenship will be required for civilian space travel. Entire governments will collapse and only America will exist.

I’m supposed to care about them why exactly? Sounds like a worthy sacrifice
I would sacrifice the power of not just millions but all peasants in order to establish myself in the early nobility of mars.
>From there we could eventually subjugate the surviving earth dwellers and create a vassal state, mercifully sparing the populace from radioactive bombardment with the sole clause of me getting a harem of the finest legal virgins to preserve my legacy

>we are never colonizing the world
Okay.

>>29198041
I think before making these threads, you should look into what % of the country's budget actually goes into space exploration and compare that to something like military funding.

>>29200141
>space Romans
>Warhammer 40,000 space romans making planet fall to systematically exterminate everyone on earth with an onlyfans account
Yeah, that’s a future I could get behind desu I’m investing in Tesla now

>>29199121

Because we need to feed and house blacks anon. That takes alot of money

>>29200172
How many of the actual top tier (((elites))) would move? Not many. I figure most are too comfy or too paranoid of the potential risk/ lawlessness so I’d wager most of those going at first would be younger millionaire types
Just pure speculation on a completely hypothetical and fictional story but I’d definitely not be above slipping someone a few 100k to get my name on a list

>>29200301
Nothing makes technological progress move along faster than figuring out how to kill people faster, harder, and louder.

I would definitely rape so many women on mars.

because of the implication..

>>29198853
If orbital ordinance became prominent, wouldn't they just create MAD in the same way?
Also why isn't there a geopolitics board on here?

>>29198041
Unironically money laundering.
The bots are going to attack me for this but I want you to honestly ask yourself if you feel that you have evidence that outer space is even real.
Have you been in it? Seen that supposed empty nihilistic blackness?.. walked on another "planet"?

The answer is no of course. But we are just supposed to believe that it exists because we CAN SEE THINGS IN THE SKY XD

Biggest falsehood of this whole thing. They turned the power off intentionally. Look up what the Biden admin was up to the month prior to this.

>>29198041
Every single government agency is a racket, a sort of fiefdom all its own with boundless entitlement and self importance while being completely disconnected from the tax cattle that make their existence possible.

The fags who get triggered about cutting funding to NASA or eliminating it all together are philosophically childish and delusional.

>>29198041
i've thought about this in the past myself because of all the fucked up shit going on in the world
felt guilty for being born in the US to a decent family and being a white male having a lot of opportunities. made me feel sorry for those who don't have the same opportunities and the homeless, minorities, etc.
i wondered why we spent so much on space exploration instead of helping them and i realized that it's just the way humans are. we are wired to explore and it'd go against our nature to stop and take care of problems that we believe we will solve by furthering our civilization through space exploration and technological advancements. same reason why humans forever have been trying to build higher and higher structures, trying to reach the heavens.
so yeah, it sucks when you think about the people who need help on earth now, but exploration and advancement are part of human nature and nothing we can do can stop that.
unfortunately, we humans hate each other based on literally anything - race, nationality, accent, region of the same fuckin country others are from, age, etc. so i don't think we'll make it. i think we'll die out far before we can ever build a civilization on another planet.
technology advanced at such an insane rate and made us feel like Gods, but because of that, we are still tribal creatures that are forced to suppress our desires. we can only think selfishly still, and civilization isn't working out for us. look at any government, no trust because they're human too. greedy, envious, lustful, disgusting humans.
in short, giving up on space exploration would be a good idea because our brains won't develop nearly fast enough for us to not wipe ourselves out before we evolve as a civilization.

>>29200799
>THERE ARE BRIGHT LIGHTS IN THE SKY SO YHEY MUST BE GIANT BALLS OF FIRE A BAJILION MILES AWAY XD
I'm not being facetious, but what do you suppose they are then?

>>29201311

None of this would be applicable if we'd just stopped being pussies and taken over the world. Selfish is insisting that we completely give up space colonies to feed people incapable of building a civilization. All aid and welfare needs to end immediately to thin out the population.

>>29198041
You should be more concerned about military spending. It makes up many orders of magnitude more dollars spent than space exploration and provides us with zero material gain. At least we got some neat pictures from the rover.

The right side invented the internet and education. We did try to bring them our education system and infrastructure, but they ended up genociding us until we left. Not our fault they chose to squander what we gave them then complain about their living situation. We even let lots of them come over to our side and access that education and those resources. Guess what happened? We had to lower our standard of education at the cost of our own children.

the stability you enjoy in a society comes at the cost of a potential for violence being enacted against you if you go against it. either enacted on individuals by police or enacted against outside forces by the military. you can't unicorns and fairies your way out of that reality, and thinking that you can betrays a misunderstanding of human nature.

>>29198558
In my experience many smaller NASA experiments are simply what they claim to be, but they may demo peripheral tech that becomes a sensor/etc on later classified mission. But imo the underlying motivation for the new age "colonization" shit is to beat China to the punch so they don't install a nuclear reactor and massive laser/jammer on the moon. Also the Shuttle was primarily used to deploy military sattelites and similar general tech push for later use, etc.

>>29199879
Read the wiki on Bell Labs, they pretty much invented everything because the army subsidized it to develop ICBMs.

NASA is a tax racket brainlet. Nothing you're seeing is real. Moon landing was done by Kubrick etc, they conveniently "lost" the technology to go back. They went with 100mb computer something like that. Its ridic and an actual IQ test for normies. >muh mars

The rock is Mars, dummy. Nothing on that planet supports life, much less complex human life. You'd be suicidally miserable living in a place so out of sync with the human biology. We need Earth's nature; we were born in it, molded by it. Even someone working night shifts suffers a reduced lifespan, and people become depressed in the winter. Imagine living in a fucking artificial space bubble the rest of your life.

The actual reason is for military purposes. Whoever controls space controls much of Earth. And while that might sound farfetch'd if you imagine it naively like Star Wars or something, what it means is that satellites can be used to do things like intercept ground-based anti-nuclear missles and/or even fire weapons from space to take out strategic targets (e.g. the Pentagon). At the same time whoever has a foothold on the Moon and/or Mars has the ability to eventually extract rare resources from them, and a cheaper path to things like asteroid mining, since building things in space means you don't have to spend enormous sums of money to launch them into orbit. Space is a question of survival, whereas a blackout is an inconvenience.

TL;DR: space is a militarily strategic area, and if we don't control space our enemies will.

I'm not the slightest bit slavic, the "nazis thought slavs were subhuman" bullshit comes from "der untermensch" (which nobody ever bothers to actually read, instead they just quote the slavs are subhuman part) which speaks about how the Jewish bolsheviks (the ones who were actually massacring the white slavs) made them subhuman by murdering the best elements of their race.
