A slightly shorter term solution: going underground.
Earth is huge, we have barely scratched the surface. There is a lot of space and resources underground. And we don't have to go anywhere, we are already here.
- chr1 7y agoExactly, seasteading and 'terraforming' deserts are other short term solutions, but for any of that to get more investment we need growing population in rich parts of the world, that would need this and would have money for this. But unfortunately we do not have that.
- ta1234567890 7y agoI think we need better marketing and just a handful of very wealthy and highly visible people to invest in those alternatives instead of going into space. In any case, what really makes space exploration possible today, is military spending. Which means that for the alternatives to become viable, they need to have strategic military applications. Unfortunately.
