#BBC 📆 23 March 2023 #Europe 🇪🇺 risks being a spectator 👀 in next #SpaceRace. "A European citizen is taxed €1.5 💶 a year to support the #space effort. A doubling of that would allow all of this to take place". #NASA spends the equivalent of #ESA's entire annual budget on #HumanSpaceflight https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-65053729

#HLAG report* : As all non-#European permanent Members of the #UN Security Council (#US 🇺🇸, #China 🇨🇳, #Russia 🇷🇺) are #SpacePowers with autonomous #HumanSpaceflight capabilities and are soon to be joined by #India 🇮🇳, #Europe’s lack of ambition stands in isolation https://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/corporate/h-lag_brochure.pdf

Talk to #enviromentalist #DavidSuzuki. Science is not always what it says on the label.

If one thinks the #autonomousDrone tech they say is for #Mars is not going to benefit the #corporateState totalitarians and #militarizedPolice then pay attention.

Thousands of #military weapons, have gone missing since 911. That's from a #Pentagon Report. #SpaceX is a #militaryContactor.

Quoting an extreme #militaryBudget does not justify #NASA expenditure.
