      You’re not renting air and water. You have a market of options to choose from. None of those things will be true in space.

        Air yeah, water though. We absolutely rent water. My point though is that we’re already used to paying a monthly sum to exist.

But we do need to get off this rock and humans are bad at long term planning. But we’re uniquely good at. “OhShitOhShitOhShit, we need to engineer something right now!”

            And yeah I realize that’s close to brinkmanship, but really I’m just confident we could do it if we were properly motivated.
