It's better than war, but there is something fundamentally wrong with our mentality that should be fixed first, because we do not have the correct technologies yet. Let me put it this way. When we can build better batteries than bombs, we are capable of the needed thinking to develop the needed technology for space travel.
With current technology or even whats on the drawing board that is a far away reality. The amount of fuel, materials etc to simply put 1 person into orbit are not cost effective. Then if the time came to flee this ball of mud you can count of the fat cats getting there seat first.
how do you get anything remotely related to war from a meme of a Hollywood movie about space costing more then an actual space launch? are people really that dense on this forum? I agree that the types of space travel that we fantasize about in movies is decades away at our current rate and I agree that the resources required have a very disadvantageous investment-return ratio but there is forward progress especially in the private sector. Dreamers are finally making certain things a reality. Sent from my SM-N900V using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Who you think we dont have the technology? Maybe because most of our manpower is going to researching weapons instead of energy? The point is that funding technological advancements in space exploration is a better investment than militarisn Sent from my LG-E739 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
