I guess it just my anti-social Christian libertainism that finds the space programs of these monster states a touch to Gnostic for consumption.
From what I’ve seen, your “anti-social Christian libertainism” often conflicts with the reality of the situation on the ground.
It would be nice if the world were all sunshine and rainbows and people staying out of each other’s hair, and countries letting each other live and let live, and Ziggy was president with the Smurfs for a cabinet…
I didn’t mean to mock there, just got on a roll.
I think military domination of space is an absolute necessity if we hope to keep even the limited freedoms we enjoy in this country through the next century. And I think this journey to the moon and then Mars will go a long way towards ensuring that happens.
And though we can argue over the methodology, we can’t deny that that is a very legitimate role for the government.
Now I have to get back to work before I becoming a loser on welfare demanding that the goverment give that money to me rather than spending it in space.
