    Just another silly distraction from the fact that they create most of the problems here on earth, and they don’t want you to turn on them.

    Eat the rich.

    Yes and Tesla cars will finally have full self driving for real and the US will fix its healthcare system, this definitely isn’t more carrot and stick bullshit from the oligarch class to placate you into complacency and passivity by waiting for improvements that are clearly never coming unless you take them

      Living at an orbital Amazon fulfillment centre breathing Amazon air and drinking Amazon water and eating Amazon protein paste sure sounds like a nice carrot. A corporate space station is a corporate town where you pay for the air.

    And while his predictions are bold, AI’s rapid development is increasing the speed of innovation and will help solve some of society’s biggest problems, including, he implies, how to sustain life in space.

    i hate these people so much

      Just remember to add some non-toxic glue to your pizza sauce so the cheese doesn’t float away, and eat a couple of small rocks a day to help weigh yourself down.

    Ah yes. Let’s go where the greediest people on earth will literally control who gets to breathe and who doesn’t and ration every drop of water and food to their fancy. What could possibly go wrong?

    Oh yeah? We’re gonna be working in space? Mining asteroids and exoplanets for multiplanetary megacorps? Yeah?

    Fucking prove it then.

    Just because some Techbro CEO has a wet dream about it doesn’t mean it’ll happen. They’re talking a lot of shit for their $0 in space tech investment.

    The Expanse but without the unfortunately named Epstine drive and corpos/billion(or trillion)aires instead of global governments.

    Beltalowda’s rise!

    You load 16 tons*

    *please note: on asteroid 786-gamma 16 tons is many times what it would be on Earth, due to the low gravity.

    Oh? Are they going to pay for the health care we'll need to stay healthy in zero gravity? Pay to haul all that food and oxygen up there?

    Well fuck, I didn’t realize how directly prophetic this game was supposed to be

      What game is this?

        Hardspace: Shipbreaker

        It’s a delightful game where you slice and dice starships up for salvage. The plot is entertaining, if fairly straightforward, but I also find it delightfully therapeutic to go into untimed sandbox mode and get as close to 100% resource recovery as possible, because my brain enjoys that sort of thing lol
