      Space exploration isn’t unique to capitalist systems.

      You seem to be letting your hatred for Musk confuse you about space exploration. NASA and other governmental agencies do very important work when it comes to space exploration

          My grandpa helped design and test the tech for ballistic missiles while working as a private contractor for a now defunct aerospace corporation under contract with NASA.

          If he was still alive I would say he gets the wall too.

            Can you string together 2 sentences without culture war tropes?

              Culture war is when a person points out the chauvinism inherent in cracker fantasies about colonizing the stars because there is nowhere left to colonize here without just admitting to themselves they just want to subjugate everyone and everything on earth and above.

              @frauddogg@hexbear.net is 100% correct in every single comment they have made in this thread.

              I can’t really even add anything to this other than say they right fuck off.

                  Also funny how libs mistake actual structural material analysis as “culture war tropes” because their framework for viewing the world is constrained by their MSNBC vs Fox News idea of good and bad and anything that challenges it must be from the wrong side of said culture war. Which funnily enough is also culture war bullshit.

                  “Surely I can’t be racist I’m one of the good white people!”

                Ironically enough in their fantasy about reaching mars with privatized space planes that is an extremely likely scenario lol

                    That submarine stunt was one of the funniest things that has ever happened.

                    Honestly if we wanted to do something neat that is almost exactly like settling an alien landscape we should invest in more deep sea research.

                    We don’t even know shit about Giant Squid which are like the coolest most alien thing on earth.

            Techbros are burning the world down in swathes to fuel their theftboxes at best, and artificial lovers at worst, Neuralink just fucked some guy’s brains up, Cybertrucks keep failing left and goddamn right, but sure, let’s just chalk all this up to “Musk Derangement Syndrome” jesus fucking christ I hate you techbro settlers. Please die young of something preventable.

            lol this sounds like you have smoke coming out your ears writing it

          Meh I dislike Musk as well but I don’t let that cloud my judgement of his companies or science/engineering in general.
