I love this perspective, especially your critical questions about the urge to conquer space, when there’s still so much on Earth that needs attention - and funding

Right, Alisa? β€” and it’s a fine balance here. I totally love the idea of becoming a multi-planetary species, and this mission could very well inspire the youth. But adults are connecting the dots differently. For us, it’s tiresome to see the same people who are trying to inspire us also exploit us, you know?

My First and lasting thought about this ... can I call it a stunt? Well anyway I just thought and continue to think gosh, people are hungry. People out here are really hungry. What if all the money that was spent on the little vibrator ship could have been spent on feeding people.? πŸ€”

I don't get into people's pockets and I don't tell people what to do, but if you show me what you're doing I mean you're showing the public, then the public has the right to comment on wasteful spending.

People: can you help us we're hungry.

Wealthy: eat cake.

Haha, the "eat cake" energy from the rich is real. πŸ€£πŸ’€ So, what do you think about UBI (Universal Basic Income)? Possible solution?

I can honestly say I don't want for anything. I'll also say that I don't claim to have the answer πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ.

But what I can say is don't show the HAVES 'having' to the HAVENOTS and try to convince them that they're sharing in the having..

Did that just make sense? πŸ˜‚
