So bored rich people can piss away a shitload of cash to look at the unrelenting blackness of space for a few moments before coming back to earth and continuing their lives of wasteful excess in a vacuum of ignorance, duh
While doing this they will emit the carbon dioxide equivalent of 395 transatlantic flights, or the c02 emissions equivalent of what 22-24 Americans output in an entire year from their average daily life. Meanwhile sabotaging an oil pipeline is called ecoterrorism but their behavior is called a fun experience. But that’s okay, katy perry had to see space! We don’t need those ice caps, really. Sorry your children will grow up in a post apocalyptic wasteland
Yup, this is the sad reality of the system we live in. If we want space travel, it has to receive funding, and we have to hope that billionaires really want that wank.

Ecoterrorism is ecology-motivated.
Egoterrorism on the other hand…

To do what when you arrive at this novel location? Leave Edison’s electrocution of an elephant out of this.
Colonize space of course!

I know the chances of me going to space are slim to none at best
I’ll still root for the advancements of space travel cause not everything is about me
