 @trixter I think it goes a smidge further back for me, when the world's governments collectively decided that we would go ahead and extend our Terran conflicts into space, there was no more good going to come of it. Everything from there on out has been taken from humanity and given to the military-industrial complex instead. 2 comments
@sminnee @trixter The ICBM was definitely dual purpose as a carriage platform but the "we will never militarize space outright" was a solid ethical rule we should have kept. Now we're talking about China blasting civilian comm sats with lasers, Russia wants to launch anti-satellite nukes and we're already talking military installations on the moon off and on. We went from a generally positive mixed bag to all bad, all the time. |

@gooba42 @trixter the good old days, when America and Russia nobly fought to see who could have the best rockets, which were definitely only useful for exploration.
