Done too Soon is not Wise nor Responsible
Nobody should be sending people to the moon nor anywhere else in space until we have cleaned up the messes we’ve made on this planet, learned how to get along with each other, ended all war, and there is a viable plan in place for how we will get all the spent rocket metal, fuel and other space debris out of the atmosphere so airplanes and birds won’t have to dodge that crap, it won’t fall on the earth, nor remain in orbit eternally polluting the sky.
The “buffalo hunter takes an expensive vacation pleasure trip” attitude is not the right attitude for flying to the moon and beyond. Something tells me the universe isn’t going to tolerate a “here today gone tomorrow, let those left behind deal with cleaning up the mess we’ve made” attitude if it starts venturing too far from humanities earthly play pen. When are we going to stop waving a red flag at the rest of the universe to beware of our existence? When are we going to stop killing extra terrestrial visitors and attempting to steal their technology?
It should be obvious to anybody who has ever experienced “download technology” or had ideas that seemed to have been placed into their brains telepathically, that using the information wisely and responsibly for the good of all is the only way to keep advancing. It’s spring. The birds are singing. “Wake up yourself!” Do you hear them? They know. They know. They know. Listen to them!
IMHO we should not allow them to spend another thin dime of our tax payer money for space travel until ALL the pollution has been cleaned up, energy is free, water is clean, the animals are thriving and healthy, the cruelty of factory farming has been eliminated, the earth has stopped trying to shake us off like a wet dog shaking off fleas, the trees have been allowed to grow tall again instead of being treated like crops, every single person on the planet has a comfortable safe home to live in, there is no more war, health care is universally available, and everybody knows the value and importance of empathy because they have experienced it.
