I sure wish SpaceX would just open source their designs so that nations around the world can join the space race, we can truly evolve as a whole species and not just as national identities, and we can get on with mining Psyche 16. That would be a truly revolutionary human endeavour, imho. Meanwhile, we're lobbing rockets at each other to kill innocents at massive scale, when we could, as an entire species, be building literal cities in the sky. Nevertheless if Europe starts making progress, I'm sure it'll catch up with the USA and China. Some day. Assuming we don't nuke ourselves over idiocy first. I know, it's a pipe dream. But a person can dream for the stars in spite of all the hatred that says otherwise.

cities in the sky? With all due respect…your head is in the clouds friend. We can barely keep the earth from warming catastrophically as it is, and you want to what - 5x global emissions? to build cities in the sky, where life is HARDER than on earth? That’s just nuts. How about we learn how to not screw up the earth first before worrying about cities in the sky. Because i guarantee we’d find a way to trash the next planet really quickly. Humans (as a large species) tend to be great at that. I don’t see other animals trashing the planet. Just us. I’m just looking forward to better satellites - better weather forecasting, communications, research, etc.

  I’m talking about space stations and mining Psyche 16. My head is way, way above the clouds, friend. The Earth would be far better off if we moved all heavy industrial manufacturing to space and left the Earth to flourish as the only garden we have. Yeah, it’s a pipe dream. Thats the point. We could do it - we don’t, because we’d rather argue about whose opinion is better, at mass scale.
