  • Years ago, well before Trump was a name we heard multiple times every fucking day, George Takei came and spoke at a thing I attended. He told the story of his family being rounded up during WWII because they were Japanese.

    He was only 4 or 5 or so, but he still remembers the moment when they came to his house and took him and his family away to one of those camps.

    It was an incredibly moving story and he told it with such emotion that it was as if it had happened to him the year before. People in the audience were tearing up. I’ll never forget it.

    This is not okay.







  • First, it’s crewed or human mission - inclusive language is important! :)

    I do think human exploration is important because humans can cover longer distances faster. So your overall options for exploration increase. I do think both human and robotic are important and serve valuable purposes.

    It would be more complicated with humans, but I think that’s also a valuable learning experience that could lead to technology that would benefit Earth.

    I do not think “colonization” or whatever term you want to use should be a priority. I think science and exploration are what we should stick to, and if your excuse for colonization is because something bad will happen to Earth so we have to go somewhere else…just spend that time and those resources figuring out how to not fuck up Earth just to go fuck up the next place.
