Some swear words, but he makes good points I think (especially the one about the apartment building on fire).

Never heard of Jimmy Dore and this bit makes me hope I never hear anything from him again. Swear words don't bother me but pretending Bernie Sanders is a rude, ignorant jerk does. If we stop spending so much on weaponry and fossil fuel extraction humankind can afford to reverse global warming and explore the universe.

That's so interesting, Sharon. I was thinking the Bernie character was saying pretty much what I think (always thought) about the "space race." Yet, it did give us Tang. And so much space junk. The major potty mouth did not add anything, IMHO.

We have several friends who are space scientists, Bill worked at JPL for years and one thing he worked on was on the deep space network. It's the basic science that is important, not colonizing another planet. Elon Musk is a egomaniac and the militarizing of space is horrible but learning about the universe is a worthy goal imo. It's a false argument that we can't afford social services and science.

What strikes me as a particularly bad idea is war in space. In that vein I offer this from my email inbox, just because this thread contains the word “space” in its title:
Hello! I wanted to show you here a list that we are making for our "End the MIC Car Tour" in El Segundo (L.A.) we're organizing for late summer as part of our LA Harbor Peace Week.
