We're not going to terraform Mars, but we're doing a good job of venusforming Earth.

  • Yes it is! Right now no one can hurtle an asteroid at earth to end it instantly. When space mining takes off that's a very real threat.

  • This is not risk free. When you give people access to space and still have terrorism and wars, things can end badly quickly.

    There's also a valid argument around where to best focus those resources now. We are nowhere near ready for space colonization on any scale, let alone sustainable ones.

    A City on Mars by the Wienersmiths dives into some of these challenges if you are interested.

    • I can imagine the "will you be using the mobile app?" question to get cheaper food is going to devolve into the Mark of the Beast and someday no one will be able to buy anything without using the apps

  • I already eat way less fast food since they started hiding all the 'deals' behind the apps. Win win imo.

  • I'm not ready to give Amazon any credit here. They use a lot of scummy dark patterns like swapping accept/deny buttons and making accept super easy and friendly to click while decline is small plain text.

  • I'm not saying it's a good system, but one that exists due to the nature of the funding. Those external pressures (especially when it gets political) just don't allow for the same amount of mistakes.

    Remember, SpaceX was one failed launch away from bankruptcy.

  • You are omitting the lede. Public appetite for failure on tax payer funds is near zero. That increases time, complexity, and cost for launches (with or without humans aboard).
