We were promised space travel and they gave us AI tiktok.

>>106779866Funding went elsewhere after the USSR collapsed. No point reaching for space when you have total dominion over the Earth.
>>106779896Wasn't just USSR collapse, thing slowed down massively after Apollo 11 ended and Von Braun departed from NASA.
They promised us flying cars, they gave us open source dildos instead
>>106779885getting the fuck away from the hordes of retards we have on this planet
>>106779996Most people can barely drive in two dimensions, and you wanna give them access to three?
>>106779885this a good question, mars is not even that viable for survival, they are just burning money
>>106780008guess you won't be needing your spacesuit then
>>106780517why?cant we just share?
We are still stuck in the mindset of the Industrial Revolution where a dozen people grasp at the same obvious and achievable short term goal for "first-mover advantage" and patent trolling. Mass colonizing space stations and other planets will make building the Pyramids look like a hobby. The amount of natural resources and energy and manpower that will have to be dedicated is nearly unimaginable and it's completely antithetical to short-term investor returns. That's why you continue to get gadgets that are much closer to sewing machines than space colonies. That's why your car has more in common with a Model T than a hovercraft or a mech. That's why ATT has been involved in telecom since the 19th century. We are still living in the extension of that era. We don't live in the future. We live in 1890.

>>106780557theres no space for worthless NEETS in space. u would literally be a waste of air
>>106779866>War on terror>Trillions spend on military operations>Budget cuts>Europe got flooded with migrants>Market crisisWhile the 90s was all about entering the future, 9/11 was a singularity that changed everything.
>>106779981The issue is clear: we needs more nazis.
>>106779981>In 1969, the Space Task Group (STG), a special panel created by President Nixon consisting of Vice President Spiro Agnew, NASA Administrator Thomas Paine, and Secretary of the Air Force Robert Seamans, proposed that after Apollo the nation should pursue a broad-based space exploration program that included a space station, a lunar base, Mars exploration, and a space shuttle. In many ways this echoed a vision first established by Wernher von Braun in a series of articles in Colliers’ magazine in the mid-1950s. The von Braun vision was of a broad-based space program involving both lunar and Mars exploration and a space station serving as a jumping-off point. All of this would be serviced by a space shuttle by the 1980s.

What is the problem with AI tiktok?
>>106779981Nazis were just a different fucking breed, man
>>106781856Not a burger, and yeah, that's what happens when you rest on your ass masturbating yourself over your American Exceptionalism.
>>106779996we already have flying cars, they are called light sport aircraft. as another anon already pointed out, the sole reason it is not used as mass transport is simply: the people are retarded.
>>106779896>>106779866boomers and gen-x are the worst generation humanity has ever produced so naturally they're never going to give humanity an accomplishment like space travel. they managed to collapse western civilization in 30 years.
>>106779866>We were promised space travel and they gave us AI tiktok.space is fake and gay and earth is flat
>>106779866You are never ever leaving this enclosed plane alive you retarded golem. CGI is all you get in this life, which is more than you deserve anyway.
