I mean, there's just one person out there constantly talking about going to Mars and it's the Muskrat. Anyone who talks about ”colonizing planets” as if it's something that's actually going to happen is deeply unserious.

I'm positive the soviet union didn't posit space exploration as the key solution to ecological overshoot, depleting energy and mineral reserves, demographic collapse, and climate apocalypse. This is what is central to bazinga theory. You don't need to solve any contradiction. You don't need to make choices. Just, uh, genetically engineer robots who will terraform random planets for us. Yeah. That's the plan.

Fuck off with your Reddity concern trolling.

You're buying into billionaire marketing pitches and drawing conclusions based upon your defensiveness toward such escapist fantasies.

Scientific inquiry is not the same thing as hopium huffing about magically self-sustaining space colonies while the planet we're currently on and the only inhabitable place we can reach is being devastated by the status quo.

Even biodome experiments on Earth have consistently failed so far. You're the one with the unreasonable fantastical position here, and you clearly don't like when it's challenged.

Fuck off space colonizer
