As to fixing our own planet? Why the fuck do you think we can’t also work on that? There are billions of humans, we can surely multitask. Especially since actually living on the moon or Mars or whatnot will be a monumentally hard task in and of itself.

Then where are those efforts? When will the fossil fuel companies be shuttered, and their CEOs executed for crimes against nature and humanity? When can we trust the leaders of the most powerful nations on Earth to actually start trying to restrain the runaway global temperature increases? We just sailed straight past 2C globally; a full 25 years ahead of schedule.

If we can multitask, I'm sure as fuckin shit not seeing it; and it's either naiveté you're speaking from, or downright IFLS-type, bazinga-flavored malice. I don't care about questions we haven't asked about space yet.

I care about "how are we going to not fucking die here for the profit of some gaggle of fossil-sucking sociopaths".
