    Because obviously that’s what we need, to be encouraging the expansion of capitalism into space.

    If you feel that strongly about the negative consequences of spaceflight, you should dispose of the computer or mobile device you’re using to post this on. Those are products of the commercialization of miniaturization needed to be small and light enough for the Lunar Lander to take humans to the moon. source

    You wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite, now would you?

    EDIT: I made a bad assumption about the poster, and apologized in a follow up post. I’m not going to remove my mistaken post so the context is not lost

      I love space exploration. It’s absolutely something we as a species should be doing. We just shouldn’t be doing it for the motives of profit.

      But sure, put things in my mouth asshat

        I’ll admit this is the first time I’ve seen someone be pro-spaceflight, but nuanced opposition with why we’re going to space.

        It was a wrong assumption on my part. I apologize.
