To escape them

Because going to space fixes our problems.

...

You live on this planet for a few billion years, and then you die.

In the grand scheme, staying here until that happens seems like a shitty outcome. Why do it?

That's the exact argument welfare-loving liberals make.

Earth sucks. We need some new shit.

you thinking we go to space just adds to the problem.

We are not focused on it thankfully.

Space travel is pure autism.

>Why are we so focused on traveling in space
Because it's fucking awesome.

>Asparagus can grow in Martian soil
I hereby volunteer for the no-return colony construction mission.

>why are we so focused on leaving this sinking ship with a lifeboat when this ship already has problems of its own

the only way to not go extinct is to become a multiplanetary species

You answered your own question.

When your house is on fire you have to leave the house.

to suck money from the government on fake space bullshit

Why are we so focused on inventing electricity when we should be focusing on farming and shit?

-t. some fucking retard on OPs level many years ago

Space is the only white country left

American "intellectuals"

>fusion power plants

AHAHAHAHAAH into the trash it goes. I wonder what kind of idiot created that disinfographic.

Finding a new earth would the shit.

No niggers, spics, muslims, or jews in space, user.

The Earth isn't even completely explored on top of that. Ocean depths are roughly 90% unexplored

according to science, matter will eventually change its behavior, so it's likely we're going to go extinct anyway

the next frontier will be pocket universes

FPBP

>"Mexican scientists"

were any of the apollo astronauts (((non-white)))?

White people will eventually need a new home

Most of those problems aren't our business.

Why don't you go fix earths problems instead of posting on a board about something.

>1% of the US military budget to go to mars
Wouldn't that mean we could afford it already?

fusion, not cold fusion, you dumb beaner

1. Space Colonies
2. Dropping space colonies on Australia.

Fuck exploring the Ocean. It's dark and full of weird things.

Ok so let's say NASA is going to mine a rock worth 100 quadrillion faggot, makes everyone rich and happy.

In such an environment money would flow, people with the best ideas would make the greatest bets, growing society as a whole.

In a society ruled by fear however none of these wankers make silly bets with each other and just hoard all the cash for themselves, wives, offspring, etc not knowing what the future will hold.

See a pattern here? love, courage, daring, doing, acting vs staying still, decaying, isolating oneself, etc.
It's like waves or a heartbeat, going up and down, beep, beep, beep.

Because capitalism is based on the principle of exponential growth and availability of resources, but since most of the Earth has already been exploited and new resource deposits are harder and harder to find and extract, the only solution is to start mining asteroids and larger celestial bodies.

>Why are we so focused on traveling in space
But I'm not, I know that space is a hoax.

>Send our best and brightest to the stars
or
>Get rekt by either an asteroid or diversity

Choice 1 is the only choice, faggot

this

tl;dr
build your own space toys, stop mooching off of the taxpayers.

>falling for the celestial jew

Earth has always had problems. There will never be a perfect world. We can't let that stop us from spreading into space, that is our next step.

because of the militarisation of space, and development of space-based solar energy and stuff

If you can terraform, you can leave and make a planet without problems.

All planets have a life span, though

Earth has finite resources and more available will ease a lot of the problems we have on it.

So that we can meet with the benevolent, hyper-advanced aliens who have been watching us grow and evolve for ages.

And have sex with their women.
