Yeah, if we cut back a bit on the war crimes we could easily fund both more moon missions and cool science, as well as a shit ton of great programs to help people with the basics like food and rent and health care.
I completely understand and agree. But there is still something magical about spaceflight that will forever put me in awe. It’s a small moment of wonder in a world of disappointment. I’ll take anything I can get these days
Agreed. I remember following the various Mars rover missions of the 1990s-2010s with avid interest. I have now lost my interest in space completely. The house is on fire and we're going on holiday again? It's beginning to feel almost indecent.
Given how many of these problems are self-inflicted, maybe we should focus more on trips to the moon and beyond, not less.

Optimism will get you through.... Humans have bumpy rides, but in the aggregate we figure it out and move on
In the aggregate we live miserable lives and then die.
That was true the last time we went to the Moon, but this time in the aggregate we live less miserable lives.

The trip to the moon just makes me depressed about all the problems here because they seem so pointless in perspective.
In fact a trip to the Moon gives me hope for our species—that not everything is shit.
