That ship has sailed. I'm in the market for a new planet for my great great grandchildren at this point.

Sif obviously missed the point of the Neil DeGrasse Tyson thread.

I'm all for space, and while it is a huge money dump at this stage, it is this kind of investment that allows expenses to cheapen in the future.

We wouldn't have commercial air flight or tiny portable computers if the original idea was crushed due to not being the best potential investment at the time.

Exactly. Everything is prohibitively expensive, forever, until they undertake it and find ways to minimize cost and maximize potential. Nothing would get done if we sat on our hands and found excuses why not to do it.

Sifright I like your thoughts, but here's the problem; these rich guys could spend their 50 billion to try and fight climate change, which is commendable, but they wouldn't accomplish that goal. They would have to get politicians on board, politicians which gain a significant amount of campaign contributions from organizations that actively oppose climate change research because the reality is not profitable. THEN they would have to get legislation passed, get it enforced and regulated, convince the companiesd to go along instead of filing endless lawsuits challenging the legislation, and have all of this done by every country in the world voluntarily and have it enacted before social change brings in a new wave of politicians that are totally against it.

I think at least this is a good expense of these funds, and looking in the right direction; toward the future.

They should just look into getting He3 back from the Moon as cheaply as possible. It advances space exploration and solves the clean energy problem at the same time.

Isn't the moon concentration of He3 like ppb or something equally ridiculous. Like it has heaps of it but its all so dilute it'd be a pretty mega operation to get it back.
Surely the cheapest shit would be to give all the stupid space money to people making renewables on earth to make that better and to make lots of them.
