One saving grace of inequality, which I think doesn't get enough love, is that fractional trillionaires are spending lots of money right now to get humanity into space. The governments can't do it. Apollo was an off-by-one success, followed by decades of failure. Boeing used to do this contracting work, now they can't build jets, can't build tankers, can't build rockets, and can't build crewed orbital vehicles. Blue Origin and SpaceX are kicking the * of the US governmental space development effort, while taking the cash the US spends on access to space. Without those fractional trillionaires, we'd be stuck with leaky Boeing rockets sending crews to their deaths.
