tfw you will probably be too old or dead when space exploration is streamlined ;_;

Yeah let's just waste time and resources on space exploration while our very species still
threatens to destroy itself. Seems smart.

our species is progressive and self destructive when not moving forward.

Wouldn't be an issue if we would just eradicate the niggers.

I had a ridiculously long dream where I entered a huge comic book about a group of astronauts
trying to find a new planet since earth became hostile.
Everything went wrong during the travel and I had to watch my crew die one by one in various
accidents
Every time someone got hit an asteroid / crushed by a module etc.
their bright red blood splattered everywhere.
After some hours everyone else had died and I had to abandon the ship as the whole thing was
bombarded with all sort of spaceshit. Rest of the dream was just me alone, drifting through
nothing in my spacesuit stained with the blood of my men.

tfw humanity will probably be gone before we manage that

You didn't do the crew's optional story quests, of course they didn't fucking survive the last
mission

That's why we, well, a collection of billionaires and private industry, are going to mine
asteroids to create resources from space.
This will initially, for the most part, be used to further mining in space and help build
spaceports.
After a while, those resources will also trickle down to the planet via dropships for use down
here.
Also, fun fact, efficient vertical farming systems can effectively feed 15 billion people on less
land than we currently use for farming. Much less.
So much less in fact that we'd only need a huge industrial-scale complex in each city to feed the
entire city.
Smaller towns and villages could be more central and have delivery, but that would still be
better than full-on national or global travel for said food.
Why do we not do it? We literally pay farmers to not make food right now. Our society is fucking
broken at the core, that is why.
Private industry is sadly the only thing that is going to change the way the world works, not
government, not elections, nothing.
Do your bit, help support private enterprise to further our future.

Eh it wouldn't make a difference to how the dream ended. By the third time you have the dream the
only thing that changes is the colourscheme

To be truthful, we're probably closer to creating Artificial Intelligence at this point than
developing super-light speed travel (if you think a solar sail will get us into the next closest
star, you're fucking nuts).
Development will be exponential at that point. There really is no telling how much can be
discovered. Punching gravity in the dick only to pop wormholes around the galaxy could be child's
fucking play to a quantum machine.
The whole Skynet/terminator/whatever scenario is played out because that would assume
(wrongfully) that an AI would seek to preserve itself. That's a biological thing, no computer is
programmed with that.
The scary thing about an AI thinking for us would be simply at what point do you define culture?
Identity? Existence? If you have something else thinking and making decisions... What are we
doing?

This is when the split in the world will happen, most will stay and a few will leave to create a
new world.

The toppest of keks. You act like there aren't those same greedy people in private enterprises.
Private enterprises have shown often enough they aren't any better than government.
