“What If We Put It In Space?” Is the New Go-To Solution to Earth Problems
Summary
And Starlink is bringing the horrifying pettiness and narcissism of the internet to remote areas on Earth that probably previously led a Shangri La-like existence. We’ve looked for oil up there, hope to put excess people on the moon, and regularly use space to make energy more sustainable and the environment cleaner and all that good crap I pretend to care about. Launching thousands of pounds of garbage with rockets that tend to cost around $200 million is not exactly an efficient way to get rid of all those plastic ring thingies that six-packs come in. Out of Ideas Down Here Granted, space can obviously help us solve all sorts of shenanigans on this giant blue marble, which is why astronomers are conducting numerous experiments up there where they can get some peace and quiet. Because that great dark void up there isn’t going to solve any core problems inherent in human nature, and if we rely on it too much, we’ll screw the pooch up there as much as we have down here.
