I hate it when people are like "we shouldn't be doing space exploration, we should be feeding/helping our people".

We could absolutely be doing BOTH. There's no reason we couldn't help everyone AND do cool scientific exploration.

First, of course, we'd have to stop warring with each other and giving all our money to a tiny handful of psychopaths.

@GOKUSHRM @ChrisJagged If none of the technologies invented in large part for the space program matter to you, then yeah, say fuck it. But that means I'll be asking for your smart phone back, as well as your other personal computers. Also your running shoes.

@pagangod @ChrisJagged I don't have any pc or laptop... And as a phone that's also not relative in current environment because of so many restrictions from vendors & Google & apple. Ur phone is not ur phone according to big tech companies.. I'm Using a 5 year old phone & soon ll switch over to old keypad phone for much better life. Do you really think that people's requirements are smart phone instead of healthy food clean water better education & heath? 😅

@pagangod @ChrisJagged and for running shoe, no matter if it's 3$ or 300$, they all work same 😂you don't need space projects to make shoes.

@GOKUSHRM @ChrisJagged Well, actually, the foam tech in even cheap shoes is part of that invention I think. As is the 5 year old phone you are talking about. You would have to go back to a 1960s land-line with a dial to avoid it. All results of 1960-1970s developments associated with the space program. AND we can easily feed everybody and a bunch of other stuff if we just took the $ that the techbro's are spending on AI and repurposed it.
There was a graph about that elsewhere on Masto. I think I responded to it, so I might be able find it.

@pagangod @ChrisJagged yes we can feed but still not getting it. And we still using landline phone in many countries in home in office. The smartphone we talking only gives us social media to consume tech bro products. That's it... I can talk with anyone over a keypad phone or msg them. I still have Nokia 1100 and we using it at home.
