There was an episode of Star Trek where the ship was traveling through a galactic void so vast that they would not pass a star, moving at Warp 9, for years. The crew had to go into stasis for boredom.
Then, in the middle of the void, the ship had to wake them up. The ship was being attacked by some invisible, undetectable alien race because somehow it was polluting cold, dead, empty space. It was, of course, the humans fault, along with the idiot aliens, robots and AIs that hitched their wagons to hatefully stupid human civilization.
The reason real space is great is because there are no seals or snaildarters or any other form of life out there. One of the reasons Elon want to go there is to get away from the idiocracy that is metastasizing on Earth.
I’m ready to go. Let the liberal nut jobs and Muslims destroy themselves. A permanent base on the Far Side of the Moon is where I want to be. It would be a great place to do radio and optical astronomy. I could live out the rest of my days happily exploring, through an eyepiece, places I will never be able to travel to.
Far away from the hate and the fear we have to live with every day.🔭
