MORE deregulation or big exciting speculative science fiction dreams will never come true. Literally a bottleneck. A neck of a bottle, literally.
If the planet isn't poisoned more and if workers (and the public in general) aren't killed for arbitrary reasons on a whim, ascension is canceled.
'regulatory overreach'
And the trend was something like "for every new environmental regulation you need to repeal 2" under Trump. Did Biden ever change that?
Why would I want to leave Earth? If you think this planet sucks, one without a biosphere is really gonna whoop your ass.
Why would I want to leave Earth?
I was thinking about this the other day. Earth is huge and well, was, beautiful, perfect planet to live on but people like musk have ruined it.
maybe once the libertarian rich guys trash the planet they want a rich person only escape hatch
edit: New Zealand bunker villa is not exotic enough
Rich person escape hatch this way
It will always be harder to colonized a new planet than to fix this one
ADVENTURISTS
DO A FUNNY PRANK WITH ELON AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
it's going to end up being a paid hit by the Saudis and thus so, so dissatisfying
lol libertaryans really think if we had less regulations than the pitiful ones we have now, they'd get their Galt's Gultch.
In case anyone hasn't seen it or would like to see it again: https://newrepublic.com/article/159662/libertarian-walks-into-bear-book-review-free-town-project
They will actually, but not the utopia, but what really happened - some people will get all the wealth and they will be left with nothing in the desert.
And of course, we did have less regulations. No regulations at all at the start
can we just fucking fire this shithead to Mars already if he wants it so much
I am sure we could crowdfund a $1 donation campaign nationally to do this

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
These guys can never articulate how government regulation actually prevents space travel, it's always just a vague gesture towards "inefficiency." It's just a mantra to them. They repeat it hoping that if they say it enough times it'll become true.
Profit is an inefficiency baked into any private endeavor. It's a fact. A portion of the capital must be siphoned off instead of being reinvested. Otherwise there's no fucking reason to do it that way.
I hate this man. So fucking much. Fucking death cult.
NGL, I have to hand it to Pokémon for inadvertently predicting Elon Musk.
Look up Both Lysandre and team flare
found Lysandre Labs and create the Holo-Caster. He seeks to create a beautiful world by destroying every Pokémon and human not part of Team Flare.
"I want to be the kind of person who gives... But in this world, some foolish humans exist who would show their strength by taking what isn't theirs." "They're filth!" - actual Lysandre quote that sounds like something muskrat would tweet
The Chosen One: His understanding of Mega Evolution has led him to conclude that there's only a very few people and Pokémon capable of having genuinely beautiful souls. Team Flare is his idea of how to collect as many "chosen" as he possibly can together before erasing every last not-chosen being from the world.
Evil Malthusian: He's become a misanthrope convinced that he must wipe out the "unproductive fools" that are "consuming our future" to preserve the world's resources, and so wants to use an ancient superweapon to kill every human and Pokémon not within Team Flare.
Omnicidal Maniac: He seeks the utter destruction of all humans and Pokémon not loyal to him. At least Cyrus intended to recreate the world and every person/Pokémon in it, albeit in his own image. This man is set on clearing living space for his group via genocide
Politically Incorrect Villain: There's just no way around it; the man is an incredible elitist. Only beautiful things (beautiful things that will never change, at that) are valuable. He regards most people as selfish filth. Then there's the really (or at least comparatively) subtle bit: You can't join Team Flare, and thus be spared from the cleansing of the world, unless you pay 5 million right up front. Considering the rough equivalence of the game currency to yen, and yen being roughly equivalent to American cents, you have to be willing and able to "donate" about $50,000 to be let in. There is no way anybody born into the lower economic echelons is getting in. Just to punctuate it, being fine with the "wane" part of natural existence is detestable. He's clearly uncomfortable with Diantha's lack of worry over her glamour eventually fading, when it's the duty of the beautiful to stay beautiful for all eternity. Compromise with the not-highest is not acceptable.
Bruv even the worst conditions on earth are more liveable than your mars pipedream. Even when climate change ravages this planet thanks to idiots you pander to it will be still be more liveable. He hates unions increasing liveable wages for his workees so much he did a mask off, does he have any idea how much it costs to keep people up on the ISS? Hell the cost per pound to get there? Yeah ait go ahead. He should take the trip
If you can terraform Mars, you can certainly terraform Terra!
Capitalism will never Terraform Mars. It is, however, on track to Marsform Terra.
I think what he means is he should be allowed to do human experiments at SpaceX and Neuralink.
What he needs to do is get a Neuralink prototype installed in his own skull and rig it up to his Tesla Model Le Sexy Sex Cyberchariot and take it for a spin somewhere secluded with a lot of speed bumps
Better to remain trapped on Earth than to contaminate the galaxy with capitalism.
Elon's doing his best to "fix" that
Space travel has only ever been done by governments. Even the so-called private space corps are all propped but by government contracts. The profit motive is the true bottle neck
"If you do t let me kill workers on earth how am I gonna make a space colony that relies on killing thousands of willing volunteers on mars?"
The practical universe ends at the ozone.
Humanity is not going to live on other planets; not in the 21st century and almost certainly not in the 22nd century either. Hell, making a perminant residence on Mars or Veneous or whatever would be a centuries long undertaking -- the sort of thing well beyond us. At best, at the very damn best, we can lay a foundation that may one day a very long time from now perhaps maybe have a chance of even starting such a thing. And by "lay a foundation" I mean preserve, restore, rehabilitate and care for the biosphere. If you really wanna see people in space, we need more regulation. Far, far more.
FALSAC or NoSAC
Intra-Venus fertilization.
even if humans could organize and design fully self-sustaining habitats that did not require a biosphere or extensive body modifications (unlikely), there would be little reason for us to ever bother with the energy expenditure of transitioning into or out of a gravity well ever again.
Good thing Kardashev was born in a deregulated capitalist country so he could freely develop his theory
The speculative science fiction in question? Red Rising
I was thinking The Outer Worlds
