They're not protesting NASA or any other public space agency. It's the private ones owned by billionaires they have issues with.
Just about every rocket launched for a NASA mission was built by a private firm.
You are implying what I am outright saying, that there is a growing anti-space sentiment growing within progressive movements.
You're just straight up putting thoughts in people's heads and getting mad at them for it.
"Look at how little sense this strawman makes!!1"
I'm very pro-space, however, we need to take care of people here first. If we can't take care of people here, what makes you think it'll be any better out there?
This is reactionary / luddite logic at this point. We can do both. Easily.
You’re so pro space that you’re using the same shallow argument people who are anti-space have used since the Gemini days.
It’s a silly argument with goalposts on Teflon bearings, and ignores the benefits of space exploration to people on earth, and the question of existential threats.
It does not follow from this that billionaires' vanity projects should take precedence over paying their employees fairly.
How about both?
Pay employees fairly first.
Ok an iPhone for example was made in China and then you say that Apple is a part of the communist party
Anti-space is not anti-science.
Space exploration (which is not even the target of any reference in the post) is profoundly expensive, and carries comparatively minimal scientific benefit.
Maybe that should change.
