Does anyone care about the shiny space future (with millions of normal people in space) any more, or just Earth politics?

@Robotbeat I am 10,000% invested in making a cis-lunar economy happen!

@PhotonEmpress @Robotbeat Same. I'm 1000% onboard with getting our species off-world in our lifetime.

@Dres @jaredhead @PhotonEmpress I actually like all these people, personally. Great thing about space travel is as we improve the cost and efficiency, space settlement will allow us to expand the number of people and cultures without additional impact on the Earth. The end point of rocket technology is ability to leave Earth with the same energy cost as just going to another continent today. We can have our cake and eat it, too…

@Robotbeat @PhotonEmpress @Dres Likewise! Even people I don’t like deserve the uplift in their lives that a major move off-world could, and should, provide to all who want it.
