“Vanity”. Ha.
I would figure as a member of this forum you’d have a respect for the speed of technical innovation brought about by the 1960’s space race. Why wouldn’t similar improvements occur here for intra-solar and inter-stellar space travel?
Why is it vanity to explore, but “biotech” (which recently seemed to go off the deep end of “augmented bio-humans who are part sci-fi cyborg”) is not? Did “people” “demand” “fintech” after 2007-2010?
Edit: “We choose to go to the moon...” feels just as relevant today as it did in the 1960’s. I want my children to have the opportunity to fly off this pale due dot and look back.
