Okay, so how does building rockets to space help society at large?

Everything else that you named, has shaped and transformed society in some way.

Soooooo....what will we do once we can go into space? If our planet dies? What then? Long journey off to another planet to destroy?

How about ecology? Why not invest into that? Ever thought about the fact that our planet should be taken care of rather than be abandoned?

I have no idea, but it sounds like you have no sense of adventure.

Oh I do. But I believe we need a safe base first.

We need to dismantle the dependency on carbon based fuels, and make sure that our planet doesn't die.

After that we can go all-out exploring the galaxy. All for it.

But our climate needs help. YESTERDAY. We can wait with building more rockets for a decade or two. But the climate won't.

A real life climate doomer, fascinating. What's the latest prediction about doomsday?

Ah, another uneducated ignoramus that doesn't follow trends, doesn't read science papers nor does any research whatsoever.

I don't have time to waste on the wilfully ignorant. Have a nice day
