Can we just for a minute stop fucking around in space? It's getting annoying

It's just life giving light that we're talking about here. ๐Ÿ˜‚.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but it's unfamothably stupid.

Think, for a second: we already have way too much energy in the system, with too much heat that can't leave easily. You really want to add to that? REALLY?

Because that's painfully fucking dumb.

We should probably stop fucking around with Earth first but I don't see that happening while sociopaths rule the world

I just feel like we at least can, in theory, keep the shit we do on/to earth under control.

Space is a different world entirely and not only do we not know what effects our shitty pollution projects have out there, we don't even really care about it as far as I can tell.

We aren't even doing it NOW though... Not even close.

Space will become so littered with high speed debris that within our lifetime it will be no longer safe to launch.
