What is up with all these moon missions lately? First Russia, then India, now Japan.
Earth's fucked. Accelerating plans to advance technology so we can fuck up another planet.
And "we", I am mean "them". The wealthy and their servants.
This is a fair argument against Elon Musk's dream to colonize Mars - it is indeed an escapist fantasy. But with the recent and upcoming moon missions, the involved parties (government orgs!) are quite clear that they're not doing it out of a false belief that they can make a self-sustaining colony. That stuff is over a century away. Only billionaires and their simps believe it lol.
