In 2018 the idea behind the red state tariffs was targeting republican senators and representatives. It seem to have worked. I don't know now how that will work in the era of an authoritarian White House.

I'm sceptic about that. I am, see above, a space nerd, formed by SciFi. But I wonder what the economical case for space colonisation above LEO, human or robotic could be. Asteroid mining is the typical use case, but again, I'm a s
