How do you think a self-sustaining colony starts? When they thought of a Space Station, they didn’t look at a Mercury capsule and say, “Well, that’s impossible, just look at that thing, it’s way too small.”
They’re taking baby steps now, but those steps are going in the direction of permanent bases on the Moon and Mars. I didn’t say that it would be successful, or even safe, just that these psychos are arrogant enough to think they can pull it off. I’m not saying it can’t be done, I’m just saying that it can’t be done by these Virtuosic Incompetents.
And you are delusional if you think these Sociopathic Oligarchs don’t think they can establish a luxury compound off-world for the wealthy to escape the increasing horrors of Earth. It will be a giant resort, a spa, without all the melanin and empty pockets. They’re thinking of Dubai in space.
That’s how they see it, and they can’t wait to create it. You don’t think Trump would love to have the Trump Dome on Mars? You don’t think Kushner will be stepping off the first shuttle, and opening up a Real Estate Development office? The problem isn’t just that they are delusional, but while these people may have a lot of money, they have proven time and again that they just aren’t very smart. Trump likes to remind us of that every day.
It’s not even that they aren’t smart, but they have an amazing ability to delude themselves into thinking that every idea is genius, and they have the money to indulge even their stupidest concepts, so why would they deny the world the benefit of their unsurpassed genius? When confident delusion is combined with unearned arrogance and unlimited money, the result is probably going to be pretty awful.
So they’ll build their bases, and theyll fail, hopefully dramatically and catastrophically, and set back space settlement for a century or so, until we can fix our society, and be the kind of civilization that should be spreading into space.
