    We could just as easily dump the billions we do in weapons on space…

    It would “stimulate the economy” just as much, while blowing up far fewer people, and they wouldn’t even be blown up intentionally.

    There’s as much time between the Wright bros and the moon landing, as there will be between the first and next.

    We could be so much fucking further.
