Of course, "billionaires won’t "escape" to space while the world burns" -- "when you understand the science, it becomes clear that the "billionaire space race" is just that—nothing more than a pissing contest between egotistical robber barons."

- gojomo 5y agoI'd not trust Salon to know what billionaires, or science/technology, will be able to do. Modern Salon is even more ideology-addled than the historic NYTimes, which editorialized human flight was a million years away in 1903, when it was… 2 months away. Still, billionaries are likely happy that creative-writers, like the author of the linked piece, keep Salon-readers smugly overconfident about what billionaires can't do.
