By the time your children are dead, it will still be 100x easier to do anything on earth than it is to do that thing in space. This seems astoundingly obvious.

Ironic given the article is talking about the need to take action to allow the continuation of being able to do this action on Earth itself.

Obvious with what the rest of the thread says and the timeline you gave it won't be 100x easier to observe space itself from Earth but instead it'll be easier to observe space from off Earth.

Thanks for the obvious point though \s
