Why is it only space exploration that is targeted this way?
The entertainment industry has $97 billion/year revenue, despite the existence of more movies/games than one could watch/play in a lifetime. Meanwhile, SpaceX had a $1 billion budget for all of 2002-2012, and NASA's entire yearly budget is $21.5 billion - just 0.49% of US government spending.
So lets "Stop Making New Movies and Just Plant Some Damn Trees"

- dasKrokodil 7y agoVery true, and let's not even get started about the defense industry...
- deogeo 7y agoI think redirecting the defense industry to make space rockets instead of death rockets is one of the more feasible ways to improve the world. Because reducing their budget is politically challenging, to say the least - they are exceedingly good lobbyists.
- dasKrokodil 7y agoI like that. Sort of like swords to plowshares.
