India has landed a spacecraft near the moon’s south pole, an uncharted territory that scientists believe could hold vital reserves of frozen water and precious elements, as the country cements its growing prowess in space and technology.
I don’t see the value of space stuff right now and don’t understand why humanity has a hard on for it so much.
Eventually, yes. For now, I’d prefer a focus on world peace and fixing the climate.
THEN, once humanity is standing strong and our own earth is taken care of, move on to space.
Counterarguments will not take into account the (im)practicality of space faring and what it can offer to our species. Sure, some of us may colonize mars eventually, but the billions on earth will still be on earth. And the earth is worth salvaging and in a much better place to salvage than fucking mars.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t have research into space, just that we should temper the investment to match the return we get, for now. Going to the moon is not an example of tempered investing. Of course, that said, I don’t blame India for doing it. I just personally find it impractical and ineffective.

Mate globally we invest piss fucking all into Space. The investment is already so tempered it’s almost nonexistent.
