We can't even solve aging. We can't solve unemployment (I code for a startup for free making their website and making them money then go collect my unemployment check), we can't solve cancer, we can't solve aging. But we should waste trillions on sending expensive metals into space just so we can set men on the moon so they can send missiles down to the earth.

It's like he deflects the fruits of "white privilege", his swanky do nothing life, and the lavish "above you" lifestyle hollywoods lead, by attacking white folks and the efforts made my predominantly egocentric endeavors.

Dude is coasting so hard, has never done anything meaningful, and now that the guns in his direction he wants to pick up purpose by directing it at anyone else.

We are working on aging, you dumb retard. We've made great progress.
but it would be pointless to focus it purely.
working on emergent aspects like curing cancers and alzimers is more effective and practical because it helps more people, and the conclusions of all those kinds of research help increase our ability to understand how to stop aging.
People do this research you dumb new fag fuck.
basically every day there is an anti aging thread talking about related themes.
we can turn cells back into stem cells.
we're increasing out gene editing ability.
>unemployment
mostly a personal problem.
especially your case.
NASA is military and scientific flex against other countries. the research and data NASA has gotten is valuable to many fields in science.
Though the combination of the least pragmatic fields doesn't really serve humanity it serves itself greatly.
an astronomer probably doesn't give a flying fuck about cancer research when it comes to their field.
A pure mathematician doesn't give a fuck about experimental data because it has nothing to do with their field.

You lefties cry about listening to the scientists and that global warming is a major issue. I think we all can in any case agree that the advance technology and industrial society has brought about existential problems for life on this earth that will only get clearer as we progress through the 21st century and eventually into the 22nd, whether it be in the form of climate change, generally pollution of our ecosystem, the advance of Artifical Intelligence, the occurance of a pandemic that actually kills people in high numbers, the emergence of worldwide authoritarianism, or a whole host of other issues that can bring humanity to its knees.

Surely having an interplanetary presence would give humanty a safeguard towards some of the major existential crises that industrial society introduces. It might not seem so useful now, but if we think a few generations ahead, it might be vital for the continued long-term survival of our species. Also, the sooner we stretch out and start exploring space, the better. I believe the reason for the Fermi paradox is simply that most intelligent life simply never take the initiative to explore beyond their planet and end up wiping themselves out at some point.

I personally find it inspiring to imagine what our society might look like a century or two from now if we actually make an effort to explore space.
