“One think people want to say, you know, about the billionaires splashing their cash going into space, they wanna say, “they should be spending it on X instead”.”
If I recall, there was a billionaire was splashing their cash going into space, but then when he spent it on X instead people were even more unhappy
I wonder if liberalism hasn't enfeebled our society so much that we will never GET to space. A civilization full of people interested in money, status, and comfort might not be inclined to ever make the collective sacrifices necessary to venture outward. The explorers and conquerors of the past were usually men fired by some driving ambition or militant creed.
Listening now!
keen to know what you think!
