Space is amazing. Space science is amazing. Crewed scientific space missions are amazing. But space isn't amazing because it offers a "Plan B" for an Earth that is imperiled by humanity's recklessness.

It's not amazing because it will end war by mixing the #sensawunda of the "Pale Blue Dot" with the lebensraum of an infinite universe.
