I would do so much to improve the world if I had even one billion dollars. Rocket ships don’t help the homeless. Mars won’t solve the lack of money in education. A car flying through the void of space does not create public transportation. A mega yacht doesn’t feed the hungry.
Please let me handle your money, billionaires. You’ll look so good at the end of it.
While Musk is undeniably a massive dickhead, let’s not devalue space exploration because of him. Many things we rely on today such as GPS, certain types of medical treatments and drugs, even eye surgery, were only possible due to the advancement of space technology.
Rocketships don’t help people directly, but for isntance, they put satelites in orbit that help farmers have a more precise control and understanding over their crops, putting more food on our plates.

You’re right. I don’t mean discredit all space-related activities. Satellites help make our world function, and rockets are needed for that.
I meant to emphasize the desire to go to Mars. I see no net-benefit for the world. It’s a vanity project.
