We have serious problems here on earth, most caused by the problems in the human psyche. In here, not out there.
The argument, well we're going to destroy the earth we better have a backup plan to get out. Maybe we can focus the resources and attention on the problems here on earth in a meaningful way.
- strangattractor 5y agoI disagree. Without monitoring from satellites for example we would not have nearly the volumes of evidence we currently have of climate change, deforestation and pollution etc. If we did not have this data these issues would be ignored and swept under the rug even more so than they currently are. Finding ways to make this less expensive is a good thing.
