This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

There remains the problem that Earth's resources are fast running out, and no matter how green we get, entropy is still going to increase to a maximum, with all of humanity's eggs in one basket. In the words of Mike Combs (who wrote this article, which pretty much sums up my thoughts on space), spending money on social programs to 'solve our problems here on Earth' doesn't reduce prejudice, make dishonest people honest nor selfish people generous.

It's an issue I feel strongly about, and call me pessimistic but I feel that the window of opportunity, after which there will no longer be enough resources physically on Earth to viably make the expenditure that makes space travel possible, will close within the lifetime of Late Gen Y and Gen Z.
