Why doesn’t the average person care about space exploration and colonisation?

enough own problems, even if mostly artificially created due individualism, capitalism, materialism, greed, too much information etc.

If mankind were a hive mind like ants we would conquer space in a few decades

the average person doesnt have enough knowledge to care about that

can we even reach anything good at light speed? I don't think so

because we have to work and pay taxes to feed billions of niggers that will make even more niggers

space never

There hasn't been an official hashtag about space yet. Normies can only think in hashtags.

Because nothing but empty space and rocks is boring as fuck and won't save us from ourselves.

Because it's not relevant to anyone. It is as needed as tourism is and since space tourism is a thing for rich people average person doesn't care about it one bit.

Also scifi and other man-child things keep you from improving yourself.

Bills.

Too busy diddling kids being diddled pr coping with diddle trauma

Dumb faggot, if we can make space tourism a thing and generate economies of scale, it’s the first step to becoming an interplanetary species.

Asteroids contain a fuckload of metals.

With fertility rates below 2 there's no need for space. You can't expand with a falling population.

Because it's a silly pipe dream fueled almost entirely by the science fiction drama. Those big dead rocks are really far away and we can't reach them.

Convince me. Why should I care?

conquer space.. for what? haven't we fucked up enough here yet?

Tourism is dead, thanks to Corona. Who will win, a hermetically enclosed space ship full of people, or some microscopic little buddy?

The average person is a retarded wage slave. They can't even think figure out how to improve their own station in life, how are they going to have the foresight to think about space exploration

They did 50's to 70's was all about scifi, space, aliens and colonisation of planets.
Then the march through the institutions was complete.

Being ambitious on such a scale is reserved for a few percentages of the population if not less

It requires Great Men (or Women) like Elon Musk to move such things forwards
Much like the age of discovery was initiated by a very few number of Great Men like Magellan and Columbus

Space isnt real, you've fallen for propaganda. Believing a lie because it'll give you hope for the future, understandable.
Get a grip

Maybe we should fix our own planet before fucking up a new one.

if you were able to accelerate to 99.9% light speed, you could cross the galaxy due to time dilation. of course everything and everyone you know on Earth would be long gone by the time you get wherever you're going, and you'd have no way to communicate with whoever is left back on Earth anyway.

Only white people and a few asians do

cause the normiefaggots don’t look up
they can’t look up

because to the average person, there are very few tangible benefits gained. it's also incredibly unattainable to the average person. when something seems completely out of reach, you want it less than something that seems more possible

Pick one

In 1903 the Wright brothers were the first to fly.
Twenty years later Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic.
Twenty years later we had rockets and jet engines.
Twenty years later Gagarin and Shepard went into “space.”
Twenty years later we should have been on Mars, instead we got Luke Skywalker.
It's been Skywalker ever since.

Super smart scientist have no place in the modern world. Those space programs are like warehouses. The criminals running know they have worth but they’re so focused on being money grubbing sleezy politicians... the super smart people are rotting fruit on a vine. They’re not self sufficient, they need directions
