    “Absolutely nothing to do with each other”

    Do you think rockets burn unicorn farts and exhaust pixie dust?

    We have enough morons sending their penis extensions to space for shits and giggles, we do not want to “start manufacturing in space” so capitalists can fuck the climate up even more for the rest of us.

      By that logic, pretty much any activity we do exacerbates the crisis. The climate is not being fucked because we’re launching rockets, save your passion for those issues where it actually matters.

      Speak for yourself.

        Almost the right conclusion. Some activity exacerbates more than other. Sending rockets to space is the “more” one.

        The climate is not being fucked because we’re launching rockets

        Exactly! Not yet. Let’s keep it that way.

        I understand we’re all fans of science-fiction here, and especially gullible when billionaires promise us “colonies in Mars next year”, but try to keep it grounded since manufacturing isn’t even sustainable yet here on earth.
