spaceflight doesn't seem very popular among leftists recently. what does /leftypol/ think about it? are the moon and mars just playthings for billionaires? will china do anything differently? is socialist thought relevant to future lives beyond earth or is it all just a scifi obsession?
the hatred of space by leftists is dumb, instead we should be pushing for space to be for the benefit of the people and not be monopolized by elon and co. Space colonization as a concept is not inherently bad,
why should we think about space when we havent even searched the oceans?

2. Theres not that much there resource wise
3. We can do both
Space is the ideal project for the communist horizon. There just isn't the same profit motive to explore the heavens under capital, and it would be an ideal place to focus excess energy. There's a reason it was the Soviets who kicked off the whole space thing.
Send the capitalists into space.
Communist society should exist here, on Earth. There's no imperative to expand to a solar system which is completely undeveloped, uninhabited 'wilderness.' Send the bourgeoisie into orbit, where the imperative to expand, innovate and develop productive forces actually makes sense and can be put to use harvesting asteroids and terraforming planets for infinite profits.

>>2649217>shouldWhy? Why "should" it be confined to earth?
>There's no imperative to expand to a solar system which is completely undeveloped, uninhabited 'wilderness.'There is imperative to not expand either.
>>2649084Space is fake and gay. There is literally nothing out there. It is literally a void.
>>2649143>2. Theres not that much there resource wiseNeither is there in space which is why nobody goes there except to waste money.
>>2649084True. We’ll still have to probably delay further developments as we adapt to climate change, but there’s no reason to disregard a perfectly fine concept for idealist delusions.
>>2649131Diversification.
>>2649143>its boring compared to spaceNonsense. It’s a perfectly interesting locale.
>>2681736There would've been no littering the orbit with satellites had the world listened to them earlier…
>>2681721Earth’s orbit is liberal dominated for now, but that will change later.
>>2681728>There is literally nothing out thereExcept literally everything that we know to exist, including us.
>>2681735>You know the only people who are interested in going to space are the same people who hate Earth.Nonsense. I think just applies to people actively going into, or trying to go into, space in the current moment.
