So, are you concerned about the betterment of the species or about individual humans? Unfortunately, the two are not always in alignment.

As an aside, many astronauts are former soldiers.

I'm not going to enter this deep, deep rabbithole- but I'd just like to point out that your post rests on the assumption that military leads to the betterment of the species/individual humans.

Not that it does - just that it can. FWIW, I'm no war hawk, I generally consider myself an anti-war veteran.
