People have been protesting space launches since the Apollo programs. It really adds nothing to the discussion to say “but other people have x problems.” We know. If it was necessary for 100% of humanity to be on equal footing in order for technology to progress we’d still be living in the stone age.
I. Don’t. Care.

- NoOneNew 5y agoI think you missed the point of that commenter's rant, understandably though. A majority of people (these days) see the benefit for a wide spectrum of folks this modern space race is producing. What no one gives a shit about is the ego driven, "I was first" billionaire crap that the media is focused on. It's like people who post, "first" on youtube videos. Sure, helps the video's algorithm stance a bit, but a useless attempt to feel important over something silly is annoying as hell.
