Welcome to your new home, earthlings. This what the new space race is all about | Opinion

This new race is characterized by an increasingly common understanding by the growing international space community that the home planet’s existence as a self-sustaining incubator of life is limited by its size and natural resources. It will depend on international cooperation for a return to the moon and beyond to colonize space for adventure, cohesion and survival and must constitute this civilization’s common — and imperative — political, social and economic goal.

Musk founded SpaceX, which takes astronauts and provisions to the International Space Station; and Branson, the founder of Virgin Galactic, an American spaceflight company, made it to suborbital altitude in his own space plane on July 11. Both, like Bezos, believe that spreading out literally is a matter of life or death.

But spreading out should be inherently positive and not only a reaction to a dire threat. The moon should necessarily be the first place to colonize. It has long been understood to be the likely site for an extended human presence in space, as envisioned by the prescient Arthur C. Clarke in “The Exploration of Space,” published in 1951. He called for a permanent base that could be used as an observatory and for mining important minerals.

And why in the world do we have to do that when we have so many other more important issues to resolve here in Earth This is a level of stupidity (and waste of money at) rarely found in “space”! 🤦‍♀️
