If you dream of space exploration you're a traitor to the human race
>yearly NASA budget alone is around 40 billion USD
>globally more than 200 billion is wasted on space exploration every year

Escapism is the most dangerous of all ideologies. The manchild dream of leaving our planet behind is what lets people rationalize destroying the Earth and ignoring the plight of the third world.
The super rich and their chosen followers escaping a ruined planet is starting to become a real danger. If we don't act now it might be too late. They're already lobbying for stealing more tax money the public desperately needs to fund their way out.
And no, they won't take you with them, /sci/.
