Because going to space is easy

Use case for giving women rights?

Space obsession is more of an old people thing. Of people who have opinions on this sort of thing and of those who are also younger they are far more questioning of the idea and wonder why we don't do research into repairing our own planet or making more of our planet capable of housing humans. We haven't exactly finished researching and exploring our planet is the common thought.

Honestly, other than shooting giant sperm and egg banks into the aether and hoping they hit a planet, I really don't see much potential in space travel.
The distances are too far and the benefits are too low.

Like sure, you can cryofreeze sperm and eggs for centuries (if that is even possible) and then have robo nannies raise children on Alpha Centauri (if there was a habitable planet there), but there'd never be any communication back and forth. It'd just be another lost colony of humans )if they didn't all die off immediately).
Notice the ifs.

Isn't alpha centauri like 3 light years away? We'd have communication, just not anywhere close to real time. 1,000 day round trip each, way, say. You're 6 years older with each message in the conversation. But point taken, that's just our closest galactic neighbor. Space is too big, I want a refund, I have an original receipt from the creator here somewhere I think.

Mars is ~3 months away.. Latency between Mars and Earth for internet is ~4-20 mins.

Its basically the same time as Europe -> America or Europe -> Australia during the age of exploration

She's sort of right, although mostly wrong. She's right in being skeptical about space exploration. It's too much resources for little gain. NASA tries to justify its funding by making a long list of products that use space technology, but it's still byproducts that we would have developed anyway if investment was more purposeful. The part of where she is wrong is by claiming there's nothing to gain. Even if there's no aliens in sight, there's still a lot to gain from space exploration.

All in all, space exploration should be a private enterprise. Public money would be better spent by not being spent at all - lower taxes instead.

It would be easier to set up a nudist beach resort in Antarctica than build any type of colony on Mars.

>>16995881
Nah, Antarctica is a nimby issue

>>16995869
Whatever

Oh really, where's it going?
