We have crises here that are only exacerbated by this dumb need to send people to space.
The human race is capable of doing more than one thing at a time. That we aren’t working on solving our many crises has nothing to do with whether or not we’re in space. You’re tying together two issues that have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Climate change and space travel are literally opposing goals. If we send people to space, we add more greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. If we stop polluting the atmosphere with dead dino farts we cant get people into space.
The end goal of manufacturing stuff in space is so we don’t have to waste resources to get stuff to orbit. If we can extract resources from asteroids, then we can just build up there without needing countless rocket launches and further pollution of our environment. The sooner we can become self-sustaining in space, the better.
Do you think rockets burn unicorn farts and exhaust pixie dust?
We have enough morons sending their penis extensions to space for shits and giggles, we do not want to “start manufacturing in space” so capitalists can fuck the climate up even more for the rest of us.

By that logic, pretty much any activity we do exacerbates the crisis. The climate is not being fucked because we’re launching rockets, save your passion for those issues where it actually matters.

Almost the right conclusion. Some activity exacerbates more than other. Sending rockets to space is the “more” one.
The climate is not being fucked because we’re launching rockets
Exactly! Not yet. Let’s keep it that way.
I understand we’re all fans of science-fiction here, and especially gullible when billionaires promise us “colonies in Mars next year”, but try to keep it grounded since manufacturing isn’t even sustainable yet here on earth.
