MODERATORS
Defense manufacturers can easily repurpose their entire industry for space travel, especially if we’re concerned about traveling anywhere at a speed reasonable for a human life span. The profit motive for war and conflict is unjustifiable.
War makes them money (and gains them power) now. That's all that matters to them.. They've made it clear they lack the will and/or ability to look ahead and consider the consequences of their actions, even if they detrimentally impact their own futures, that's why we still have capitalism..
Sadly, there isn't much demand for space travel, but a whole lot demand to want to kill each other.
No one knew there was a demand for smartphones before we had them. I want to believe!
