Why doesn't the west have this kind of ambition anymore? It doesn't matter if a few things are a bit retarded and don't work, if you don't take risks you won't have breakthroughs.

Breakthroughs in what? Dumping dirt in the sea?

We're pretending to be retarded so we can colonize space while the thirdies are busy building useless meme islands.

But why? So you can get divorces on the moon?

sending gibs to niggers is more important than progress

A single platinum group asteroid has more precious metals than have ever been mined in the history of humanity. Everybody needs rare earths and other precious metals to make electronics.

We take over the stars while our rivals are busy worrying about Ukraine or Taiwan or whatever. We'll let you come too if you don't bring any Pakis.

Good luck bringing them back to earth. Space mining is a pipe dream.

We can just have probes send chunks to Mars for processing and then ship the raw bars to earth. The Delta V for Mars to earth transport is really low because it's a shallow gravity well and next to no atmosphere.

You don't have to bring them back to Earth.

But there are only pakis in the UK now, didn't you know? Really quite nice once you get to know them.
