Hello, author(?). I was more so interested in how belief or association with those who believe in "creationism" compromises business/technological endeavors in space exploration. A more simple question could be: "Why can't space pioneers support Republicans?" but that would only serve as an abstraction over what I'm really trying to figure out.

Hello. > I was more so interested in how belief or association with those who believe in "creationism" compromises business/technological endeavors in space exploration. I'm talking about people who literally believe the Earth is only thousands of years old, which is 100% contrary to all space science. And if one happens to believe that Jesus is going to come back any day now and take us — well, maybe not me, but take some people — up to Heaven, then one probably has a very different attitude toward climate change than those who believe that the Earth's environment needs to last humanity for millions of years more, if humanity is to survive that long. According to the ultra-religious folk, God made the Earth for humanity, not Mars, so what do they even care about Mars? Instead of repudiating science denial, Musk says "Unless it is stopped, the woke mind virus will destroy civilization and humanity will never reached Mars." So he's clearly chosen sides, and picked his battles. But it's not the side or battle you would expect if his life goal was saving the environment and supporting scientific exploration.
- the-printer 4y agoI understand your position better now and I’ve noted your take on the positions of who you’re referring to as well. I can see how you perceive contradictions in Musk’s alignments. Thank you.
