I understand the interest by many people in all of this Sanjeet, and there is some capital or benefit as you say! I tend to be more diligent now than in my youth when I didn’t consider any such components or line of thinking to mankind’s reaching into space. But now a real “cost benefit analysis” is mandatory as I see it, in any substantial and in this case massive undertakings by mankind, especially now with so much disruption to financial markets and societal monetary instability around the globe; so I’m very conservative about how I see or consider priorities! But because humankind are screwed as any reasonable person should see by now with humanities collective history, it really is a matter of grave concern as to how we invest greatly needed resources and especially in what! For Elon Musk and others it’s so easy to “talk the talk” because they have the big bucks to “walk the walk” and can influence major players globally!
When we consider what the “Cold War” with the somewhat controlled proliferation of nuclear armaments and the enormous resources that have been outlaid in doing it over the decades, for this so called strategic capability and “balance of power” scheme or global chess game where mankind now has enough nuclear arsenals to fry the planet multiple times over, all in the name of “nuclear deterrence” in this maintaining “the balance of power” where the nations are basically saying to each other; don’t you try taking us out because we will get you for damned sure and you won’t know what hit you! One can readily see that humans are a mentally ill and wicked lot to have to resort to such schemes and wasting so much capital or resources in doing so; to supposedly maintain that ever elusive peace, in this global Madhouse!
“Thus, nuclear deterrence was born, a seemingly rational arrangement by which peace and stability were to arise by the threat of mutually assured destruction (MAD, appropriately enough).”
“Winston Churchill described it in 1955 with characteristic vigour: ‘Safety will be the sturdy child of terror, and survival the twin brother of annihilation.’”
“In his classic The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy (1989), Lawrence Freedman, the dean of British military historians and strategists, concluded: ‘The Emperor Deterrence may have no clothes, but he is still Emperor.’ Despite his nakedness, this emperor continues to strut about, receiving deference he doesn’t deserve, while endangering the entire world. Nuclear deterrence is an idea that became a potentially lethal ideology, one that remains influential despite having been increasingly discredited.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/14/nuclear-deterrence-myth-lethal-david-barash
And look where we are with Russia and China both looking to expand territory with an ultimate goal of global control while America is not much different in this chess game of maintaining its global influence! Then of course the rogue nations, say like Iran, which has leaders and an ideology that says “bring on the end game” or the Mahdi, to lead us to Allah.
All of that said this is where we arrive, at such an unfortunate demarcation point that we inevitably will have to cross, and why I see “the space race” as also inevitably “another type of cold war!” And in that I see, if all the superpowers can’t end the “nuclear game” totally and “not try to project dominance or control” as they do, then they won’t be considerate about any “potential dominance” to be gained in the “space arena” and not use any such great advantage of momentum achieved with those subsequent advances from it; to then automatically try to dominate or threaten global political stability and it’s over all control! If a nation can get the upper hand they will use it; whoever that will be. So unfortunately it’s another battle in the never ending battle for dominance and control; which as a Christian I believe and know all of this conflict and working within the “wrong paradigm” doesn’t end well for humanity anyway!
“Damned if we do and damned if we don’t,” is the adage that comes to my mind!
Being even more blunt, it is a giant shit sandwich and all the major opponents in “the space race strategic military capability” have to all take a big bite and swallow it no matter how rotten the taste of this game that mankind plays.
Good of you to bring this to the fore and a job well done!
God bless.
Brother in Christ Jesus,

I was recently reading this article where the author beautifully describes why investment in space technology and space exploration is necessary, and how it yields benefits for humanity in the short and long run. I should probably mention that I have previously in my posts written extensively about this, and have advocated that astronomy does way more for the people than it is talked about. Many people may think that everything we do in space is a waste of money, and while I can agree with their claims to some extent, it will be very stupid of anyone to believe that Elon Musk is wasting the resources he has at SpaceX to take humanity to Mars.
The article in 4 main headings describes why going to space is beneficial.
- Improving daily life on Earth
- Protecting and preserving democracy
- Enriching science and research
- Satisfying humanity’s need for a frontier

What’s the old adage “they will never learn!” Some people are really that way and continually carry out exercises in futility like shoveling water or even air in many cases!
I always think of the humor of Dumb and Dumber, but this is all willful ignorance and stupidity, there really is no excuse because of its none other than being derived from pure defiance and rebellion! Uh-huh wonder where they got that original idea from! Sure haven’t been reading the right book; that is for sure!

So many people today are hard-heads and lost in a sea of vanity or even evil with the pagan idolatrous so called music they constantly listen to and if we were to try and explain this to most Left Wing Liberals or Dems, and the many younger brainwashed persons out there they wouldn’t even listen; being dumb and stupid to truth!
Freud Spock, Kinsey and Jung all turned out to be major freaks and in my book produced a lot of screwed up people in the generations since they were idolized by a foolish public!
The perspective of the Bible was not embraced by Dr. Spock so many of the solid, timeless principles have been neglected by parents over the last several decades to where we now have totally dysfunctional pagan imbeciles raising the newer generations!
“Emotionally disturbed and promiscuous men like Freud, and the occultist Carl Jung, provided pseudo-scientific justification for sexual libertinism from the depth dimension of human psychology, whilst the pornographer, paedophile and masochist, Alfred Kinsey, provided bogus research with falsified statistics in order to promote every sexual perversion and the sexualisation of children.” truthxchange
I only end up reading when I do some searching what I already concluded many years ago, which was how many of these iconic names in psychoanalysis were actually psychopaths no different in a sense than the sorts we see now in the present iconic madmen of NWO WEF ilk like Schwab, Gates, Soros and all of the other madmen who drive the narrative for the masses presently; with money, power and influence.
Many of the Marxist ilk in America and throughout the world follow in the mindset of the madman Karl Marx and his demonic belief system where he abused his own daughters and convinced them to commit suicide; go figure that Communism is pure evil from hell and look at the numbers of progressives or socialists idiots that are actually following those forerunners of debauchery and demonic worship! Hell in a hand basket!
It’s a culture of death and self-worship for sure, and getting much worse each year! Look at the total disrespect by mobs of fools running loose in cities and destroying because they want their own dammed way and are hell-bent to get it! People are absolutely evil throughout the world now, perhaps in varying degrees of actualization; but most are in the least puss filled toxic idiots who have no ambition or love for anything, and then there are the extreme, insane out of control violent types that will do murder without batting an eyelash, many psychopaths; so we are in a world of shit!
Now Garland the AG of DOJ here helps the schools systems to provide Marxist, CRT and antichrist teachings to children in grade school, while going after protesting parents at school board meetings, who only want to protect their own children as terrorists! Let’s be real the evil bastards are in key positions trying to destroy all that is good as they serve Satan!
