>>10651268>Is going to space a waste, should we halt our renewed investment in space travel in the US? Humanity should just stay on Earth forever? What if one of these facilities discovered something that enabled us to leave 200 years earlier?As much of a faggot Musk can be, it's cool that he managed to single-handedly revive interest in space travel but need I remind you that the sole reason why there ever was any significant investment in space tech originally was because the US and the USSR needed to have their little kindergarten race, and after the US won it, nobody cared anymore for 50 years until Musk came along?
Don't act like there was some noble goal about the the advancement of humanity behind it, it was just another tool in a petty quarrel between literal children. Children with nukes.
I was an idealist too, anon, then I saw humanity for the petty, narcissistic cancer on this world it really is.
The only reasons anything ever gets done on this planet are:
>if some jew can get shekels out of it>if some narc gets brownie points to flex with, and most likely some jew still gets shekels out of it
