What do you consider to be an appealing vision of space travel/habitation?
Like if space travel was an electric car and you were an ICE car kind of guy, what would space travel have to be like for you to be like "Okay, that's pretty cool."
- pengaru 5y agoAs long as you can convince the ICE car kind of guy he's in the upper caste that gets to stay earthbound while the poor are sent to Mars, it's probably not too difficult.
- trgn 5y agoWhy would the poor be sent to Mars? Its my impression the discourse is the other way around; the adventurous, people with options, would mindfully choose to leave earth and start anew.
- trgn 5y agoGravity similar to earth, breathable air. So my body still works fine on this new planet. Mediterranean climate would be great, but that's negotiable. I like your analogy with ice cars and electric cars. It perfectly captures the value system that drives space colonizatuon. It's the fetishization of technology. Because it requires advanced technology, therefore, in and of itself, space travel is the right thing to pursue. It's a modernist mindset.
