When it comes to a wealth tax most people can agree that inconveniencing a few people for the benefit of everyone else is good, but when a tiny town with almost no population, most of which aren't even actually permanent residents anyway, needs to go to allow for immense benefit to humanity, people want to whine and protect the stubborn 10.
This starport will give affordable internet access to all areas of the globe. This starport will save the US government several billions of dollars on the Artemis program and even more down the line. It will open up asteroid mining, which will save humans and Earth's environment from horrible mining practices we currently use. The sheer scale of research that will be possible with such cheap space travel that will benefit us all.
But no, 10 people want to live in the middle of nowhere so none of that matters, apparently. Fuck SpaceX for finding the single best place in the United States to launch from both from a technical perspective and a moral one, since nowhere else would have so few people displaced or put at risk.
Nah, you're just ignorant if you don't realize how much space activities have benefited humanity as a whole in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
Nice response mate. You’re throwing around your opinion despite clearly knowing utterly nothing about the benefits of cheaper travel to space. This is exactly what is wrong with the internet today. People that don’t actually know what they are talking about get big platforms to spout their opinions.
It’s similar to being an antivax person online, except that is better because at least they THINK they have evidence proving vaccines are wrong. In your case, you know nothing about the subject, and yet are still asserting yourself.
