    really?

    like what?

    what did a moon landing do for humanity that, say, 300 hoover dams wouldn't?
    Inspired a young man named

    Neil
    Degrasse
    Tyson

    So?

    So um having really potentially intelligent people get inspired to further their academic education is a good thing because it benefits society as a whole instead of him becoming some paper pushing manager with a business degree? Do I really have to spell this out?

    What are we going to kill funding for the arts now because they serve no tangible benefit? Never seen art feed a starving child, cut that shit!

    conspiracy theories.

    also do you even have places to build 300 hoover dams and why haven't you done so like half a century ago already, then?

    hydroelectric power be making the mad greens, yo

    i think that there's no way we have 300 places for hoover dams in the us right now

    there are probably plenty of places in south america, africa or asia that could benefit though.

    i don't know much about cambodia except that it's one of the most populous nations on earth and that tons and tons of people die in floods every damn year

    say your piece about space

    don't sit there hiding

    I already did. I said the idea of going to mars was stupid, we should spend lots of public money developing spacecraft and space technologies for doing practical things around the earth like cleaning up dead satellites or doing various types of science. A lot of the development synergy could help back on earth too, purifying water, supplying power, etc.

    And then maybe in 100 years when we've gotten super good at keeping people alive in vacuum and developed decent engines and power sources for the ships we can start tooling around the solar system and see where things go from there.

    And then maybe take over the galaxy slowly because that would be pretty cool and is probably the only worthwhile thing we can do as a species. Find some other life. Maybe have a star trek or two, I don't know, these are soft plans, we'll see.

    The funding for the arts is a really really bad analogy here

    because one, we are discussing benefit and arts is something we fund purely for fun, basically

    two, we spend like no money at all on that. It's like saying that instead of cutting defense spending the white house should shop at costco.

    If we managed to help the millions of impoverished Americans get the money to go to school, I'm sure you could find one or two bright people there, too. Let alone the poor in the rest of the world.

    because the only real historical benefits of sending people into space are spinoff technologies that you could get from doing less-expensive research into something actually useful.

    i am all for government investment into science and technology, but believe that space is one of the worst, least efficient and most pointless ways to spend that investment.

    I agree with this so hard.

    At least, for manned space flight in particular.

    Ugh. Ugh. Fuck this speech.

    We're supposed to feel good about ourselves because we let a talented musician die in the ruins of his house, because, some years after his death, a recording of his music is floating through space?

    How about we, y'know, fucking built him a new house?

    You want to do something uplifting for all mankind? We could end poverty. We have the resources and the technology to eliminate extreme poverty for the entire world. Not a single human being would lack shelter, food, or clean water due to inability to pay.

    Pfft, if you can't pay why do you deserve those things.

    To quote Senate President of Florida Fuckbag Gaetz: "I don't feel sorry for people who choose to stay at home and play Grand Theft Auto instead of getting a job."

    They should extend both ends.

    Flat can be flat and busty can be half of the character's volume. A compromise where everyone wins.
