>>10836696>Running away won't help.Space development isn't about running away. This is the worst canard of Marxists and environmental extremists, but I'm repeating myself there. Space is as much about healing the Earth, helping all of humanity and having some interesting stories at the end, as it is about money or power projection.
Think about it this way. Weather satellites have saved millions of lives. Medical devices based on Apollo technology have also saved millions. Battery and computer technology from Apollo have revitalized or created whole new industries. That was just the start.
