To satisfy your imagination, let's coerce everyone to believe we can be a multi-planetary species, nevermind that we only know of one planet that support us without extensive engineering effort.

Are we even the same species with any of the same concerns by the time we get to Alpha Centauri planet?

These notions still coming from the mouths of my generation are getting a bit bonkers to me as I age.

Let's work towards a goal we'll never be able to validate actually happens, as we'll be dead before we get close. Let's build a system that coerces people towards that goal.

Let's chew up more and more of this planet researching and building towards technologies and fucking over the next gen of humans here.

Because a generation that grew up watching Star Trek wished it would happen real bad!

Software is the new means of production.

While management is cluelessly guiding what software is developed, we'll never put the requisite effort into those problems.

They want return on investment, not idealism.
