That’s going to happen regardless. Humans are violent and aggressive throughout history. The only way to prevent armed conflict these days is to have nuclear weapons. Great combination, right? Europe has been sleep walking it’s own defense for decades, and it’s unfortunate that it takes an existential threat from Russia and Trump to finally wake up

James Webb is literally space. It would never have existed without a strong rocket to push it there. And it cost billions more than it should have because it needed to be folded up in complex shapes in order to fit in a rocket. With bigger rockets and smaller costs, satellites like the James Webb could be numerous. James Web has a backlog of research that it will never get to because there is only so many things it can do. That’s a glimpse of what space exploration can give us. It’s ridiculous that you use the pinnacle of our space capabilities to say we don’t need more capabilities

You have to be totally brainwashed to actually believe centrists are conservatives. Maybe if you keep up that hate it might become true. Ironically you sound just as hateful as actual conservatives. Just because I don’t agree with all progressive politics doesn’t make me a conservative. That’s literally centrist. If that offends you, that’s a you issue
