Every few months, someone with more money and fame than knowledge spouts off a Grand Plan to leave Earth for somewhere else to escape our problems. And everyone who has dealt with the complexity of dynamic systems heaves an enormous sigh.pic.twitter.com/vtLfYNLRYv

We can’t even create a stable sealed biome on Earth where we’re operating within the geomagnetic field at standard temperature & pressure. It’s the simplest version of a faked environment, yet we repeatedly fail. We don’t even bother pretending the space station is independent.

How exactly do we expect to successfully terraform another world to be Earthling-friendly when we’ve made our planet less hospitable? We didn’t maintain Earth’s climate & we’re failing to correct back despite it getting noticeably less pleasant. We’re un-terraforming Terra.pic.twitter.com/Fek55BKNqV

If your dream is humans scattered across the planet & that’s what inspires you: Cool. Great. Love it, and you can push that dream forward with sustainability on Earth. Space requires intense reduce/reuse/recycle & green tech. Help us pass on Easy Mode so we can up the challenge.pic.twitter.com/glWGCVkbos

In space, yesterday’s coffee is tomorrow’s coffee: https://gizmodo.com/i-m-not-getting-how-sweat-is-collected-1729078941 … If we don’t have that level of sustainability, we don’t have a shot of moving beyond Easy Mode.pic.twitter.com/4g48kUFv69

And this idolizations of recreating company towns but in space where the boss controls the air supply? That’s a low-hanging fruit of dystopia. We don’t even need to look at labour history to recognize what a bad idea that is.pic.twitter.com/L3oZ3RPZlO

Épilogue: Climate nihilism is kin to climate denialism, another way of dodging responsibility. It’s not too late to make things less bad. It’s NEVER too late to make things less bad, but the longer we procrastinate the harder it is to mitigate & adapt. We need to do the work.

“Earth is easy mode” that hits me. That’s inspiring. May I use that in a creative endeavor?

It’s a painfully reoccurring refrain for me
