La Dependencia Peligrosa del Programa Espacial en un Magnate Inestable.
Existe una profunda preocupación sobre la excesiva dependencia de la infraestructura espacial crítica (como el ISS y Starlink) en manos de un solo individuo, percibido como volátil y narcisista, y la vulnerabilidad que esto representa para los intereses nacionales.
- And herein lies the problem with allowing a billionaire to control your national space program.
- Man, how absolutely stupid, reckless and dangerous it was by nasa and the pentagon to put such vital interests in the hands of an unstable megalomaniac billionaire like elon musk.
- This is exactly why the space program must be a government program, not contracted to a billionaire who can just turn off things on a whim of his thin-skinned, drug-addled ego.
- Lets make our space program and by extension our national security and communications entirely dependent on a single company controlled by a mentally unstable, drug-addled billionaire with a messiah complex. What could go wrong?
El Despilfarro de Fondos Públicos en "Juguetes" de Ricos.
Una crítica recurrente es que los lanzamientos y proyectos espaciales de los multimillonarios son un desperdicio de dinero de los contribuyentes, especialmente cuando existen graves problemas sociales y climáticos sin resolver en la Tierra.
- Another spacex rocket explodes. But dont worry its your money, not his. Nothing says meritocracy like a billionaire blowing up taxpayer money.
- Aka a huge taxpayer-funded boondoggle to enrich whichever space billionaire cuts trump in on the proceeds.
- Taxpayer dollars. The cost of yet one more major anomaly that could have gone to feed starving children, veterans programs, cancer research, more irs phone support, alzheimers breakthrough, vaccine development, natural disaster relief, noaa, etc. Tax dollars wasted on a billionaire mars wet dream.
- All that money. Could have gone to science research, or house the homeless, or clean up a beach. But no. Billionaire man child needs to have space toys.
La Colonización de Marte como un Escape Elitista.
La visión de colonizar Marte es vista no como un esfuerzo por la humanidad, sino como un plan de escape para la clase multimillonaria, dejando atrás un planeta arruinado.
- Hes a billionaire who has the billionaire sci-fi fantasy that all the rich people will escape to some kind of space paradise and leave the poor people with an exploited and ruined earth.
- They sell mars as the alternative to earth. They will use resources for money. Thats the billionaire way.
- I would love to see every billionaire longtermer and effective altruist try to colonize mars. Its a great idea, actually. Bye yall.
- Billionaire weirdos dream about terraforming mars because it could never sustain many people. And they want to live out their lives as god kings on their own planet, unfettered by other people demanding inconveniences like human rights and social contracts.
El Eclipse de la Ciencia Pública por el Espectáculo Privado.
Se lamenta que la exploración espacial, antes un dominio de la ciencia y la colaboración pública (NASA), ahora esté dominada por el espectáculo, el ego y la búsqueda de beneficios privados.
- Dems need to take this as an opportunity to take back the imagination of space flight from these billionaire twats. Thats really all musk did with spacex - there was a latent, stagnant popular yearning for space flight and he just put it on like a suit.
- Nasa research ends up benefitting society rather than enriching a billionaire. Nasa is why we have microwave ovens. Privatizing science only benefits shareholders not society. We should demand better for our tax dollars. Penny wise, pound foolish.
- Today, headlines are dominated by billionaire-led ventures like blue origin, spacex and virgin galactic. They are rebranding space not as a domain of public possibility, but as a playground of private power and profit. . Writes.
- The shift away from public space exploration matters. When public institutions lose ground, so do public values. In the billionaire-led space age, success is measured by virality, capital and spectacle not by service, scientific integrity or global co-operation.
La Fatiga y el Deseo de Ver a los Ricos Abandonar la Tierra.
Existe un sentimiento generalizado de "fatiga de multimillonarios" y un deseo expresado, a menudo sarcástico, de que estos individuos se marchen al espacio y dejen la Tierra a los demás.
- Anyone else getting billionaire class fatigue? why dont they fly off on their rockets or whatever and go live on mars already.
- Great. And id like this billionaire nut job, his space junkie pal, and all the rest of the aggressively malignant billionaire bros removed from the nations collective psyche. Go to mars already you fucktwats.
- I will not nationalize spacex. I will invoke civil forfeiture against melon husk the rest of the aggrieved billionaire class as criminals against american society and humanity. Then ill take the bunch and launch them on a spacex starship bound for mars.
- Turn off the lights youre wasting energy can we say yeet a billionaire into space instead? way more effective strategy.
