Yeah? So give up on this frivolous stuff and do... what exactly? Spend 10 years redirecting everyone's efforts into building mausoleums and tombs so we can all hop in in 2034? What are the NASA guys, or the European space agency people, meant to do in relation to the climate crisis and looming extinction event? Rocket science isn't biology, isn't climate science (though launched satellites and the like do help with researching it), isn't geopolitics.

You give me the same vibe as gamers whining about a game's art team making assets for cosmetic dlcs instead of adding story content or fixing game bugs or something, when they literally cannot do anything about those other things because it's outside their jurisdiction.

You’re right space agencies have no resources or skills which could be tasked with mitigating the climate crisis. Particularly any skills around creating sustainable living on the moon. Buncha liquid propulsion trigonometry nerds.

Dunno what i was thinking.

I get your point and agree but it's worth mentioning that NASA and the ESA are very much involved in climate sciences. It's like one of the main things they do.
