The accumulation of capital and the prevalence of individualism have brought Western civilizations to the brink of collapse. There are no longer any significant shared goals or a sense of unity.

Blowing up rockets and making false promises of delivering people to Mars is a stupid way to destroy capital in pursuit of an absurd goal. Making substantial investments in various fields of science could be a more effective way to burn excess capital and bring people together.
