>If you spend some time on a spaceflight forum, you will read enthusiast posts about how cool it would be to see other words, to experience micro-gravity, or how interesting the science behind rocket engine is, but I rarely read about how space science will solve hunger,
If I go to a video gaming forum, do people talk about how to end world hunger? For the price of one new video game, you can feed someone in Africa for two months.

- vacri 12y agoVideo games aren't routinely justified as the solution to an extinction event on earth.
- craigjb 12y agoBecause they are not. Colonizing other worlds is.
- vacri 12y ago...? Hence it is appropriate to discuss how the problems would be solved on a spaceflight forum, but not so appropriate on a video game forum.
- Chathamization 12y agoNot really. Even if multiple extinction events hit Earth, Earth’s still going to be much more hospitable than Mars is now.
