gotta love a good space exploration story. (I know they cost zillions but without them no GPS, and countless other benefits...)

Not sure my life is improved by gps... ànd I have no teflon. Countless benefits?
Concentrate on fixing the problems on earth, and stop the thieving super rich having their vanity projects.

57.5 Degrees of Pain
Space exploration beats war as a driver of technology. And it might come in handy if a large lump of space debris heads right for us, or in mitigating global warming once it progresses too far for a terrestrial solution.

Love space travel
Cried when the binned the shuttle
Love fast planes
Cried when they binned Concorde
At the end of my life it feels like we will have moved backwards

Mitigating global warming? A giant untested space mirror type thing as a more appropriate solution than a combination of planting trees, farming in an agroecological fashion, ending the use of concrete and N fertiluser, reducing pointless travel, and ceasing the endless consumption of crap? Yeah, obviously.
This space crap is a distraction. Endless progress is distraction. Technology is not the answer.
But I suspect humans would vote for uber machismo, F1, fast motorbikes, war planes, big guns and space rockets, and a quick tech fix over a balanced functioning ecology that we were simply part of.
