Has anyone written yet about how launching spacecraft to Mars and creating a Space Force to explore the universe is literally the dumbest fucking thing we could do to the planet we actually live on

Scientists: "Climate change is a serious threat multiplier, the U.S. military is the largest single institutional carbon emitter in the world, and most of the emissions come from aircraft."

Government: "what if we added a SPACECRAFT division to defend against ALIENS"
