there's few things simultaneously funnier an sadder than the awe and optimism inspired in bugmen by musk's and bezos' narcissistic space joy rides.

we are currently on a planet which molded us, which feeds us, we are designed to live comfortably in its climate. however, since we are deeply retarded, we are destroying it. instead of thinking about how to fix things here, people are buying the justifications these sociopaths are giving them to justify their narcissistic hobbies, which is basically propaganda for them to ignore that things here are leading to an ecological and societal collapse.

what a disgusting picture, a 30 year old bespectacled, mouth agape marvel fan imagining he and his ilk are space marines to be, who will move to some imagined place in outer space, even though we are only surrounded by a vast expanse of cosmic death which leaves any possibility of us actually setting up a home somewhere else non existent.

This does speak a lot about how stupid humanity is. How people obsess over something as dumb as space since we've read about how cool it is in sci-fi books and watched all the space operas and shows and, without any prior thought, just form a strong opinion that "yeah we should waste money on space".

It's an unintentional statement on herd mentality and general stupidity. Space will take centuries, even millennia, for any return on investment. Anything we can do on Mars we can do a billion times cheaper on Earth. And in the end, investing in less useless technologies will help us get to space faster anyway.

Even a 14 year old knows this - the teenager plays civilization and is presented with a research tree. It will take a 1000 years to research space killer robots, and a 100 years to research fusion power. As a 14 year old, he REALLY wants the space robots - but even he knows that finishing fusion power first will nearly double his research capacity, resulting in him finishing the space robots even faster.
Even a fucking 14 year old knows this.

this is blatantly false. In a survival situation the firs thing that kill you(besides a lack of oxygen) is the cold or heat. We designed structures and clothes that keep us at a comfortable temperature, earth itself has done nothing of the sort. Stop idolizing nature.

well it depends on how you see it. The standards of living have never been as high as they are right now and getting into caches of raw resources of several different kinds would only improve it even more, at least economically.

That already has been answered several times over tho, and wealth inequality makes a tiny tiny part of it. It's mostly inefficient supply lines in developing countries, which are coincidentally a lot of times responsible for exporting food stuffs. Brazil, for example, had a study that found that at least half of it's produce, for 2018, was wasted thanks to their bad roads and overreliance on trucks, that is before it hit the stores and more waste happen in it or in the homes. Half of the food from harvesting and transportation alone gone, all because of inefficient transporting infrastructure.
