Yes.

It's stupid to send a mission there just to pick up samples. Just wait for the next rover or lander test mission and then send that to land closer to the samples and pluck them up on the way back. They're not going anywhere.
The article is wrong. You don't need high growth, any amount of growth more than 0 over a long time frame will inevitably see a civilization spread throughout the galaxy. If there was a civilization a hundred million years old in our galaxy it would be noticeable.
Sulfur cools the planet but not by shading, it's more similar to how CO2 acts but in reverse.
That's not really relevant. Fine particulate emissions from coal power plants, which are already mostly gone in the US but are still used around the world, don't travel a really long distance.
That's just used for curries
F35 is guaranteed to be better than a "6th generation" Chinese plane and they can be upgraded anyway. And it's actually very successful now with a very cheap per plane cost.
It's more about sensors and communication, there's no reason you can't have f35 use drones and stuff. But the better plane will see and target the enemy first. And it can operate without GPS. In other words it's better to have 3000 f35s flying missions plus a bunch of drones. Being able to deliver a lot of firepower first is a huge deal.
This is just fake propaganda.
The second point diminishes that. Because the dirt is all the same there is no specific reason to covet one pile of dirt over another. It's more like mining seawater for gold.
It's partially because of the previous term, it's not the same as a random person about to be president for the first time.
Yeah, but if you have a high refresh rate monitor and you want 4k plus 240 hz then you probably need this.
