If the planet isn't poisoned more and if workers (and the public in general) aren't killed for arbitrary reasons on a whim, ascension is canceled.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The practical universe ends at the ozone.
Humanity is not going to live on other planets; not in the 21st century and almost certainly not in the 22nd century either. Hell, making a perminant residence on Mars or Veneous or whatever would be a centuries long undertaking -- the sort of thing well beyond us. At best, at the very damn best, we can lay a foundation that may one day a very long time from now perhaps maybe have a chance of even starting such a thing. And by "lay a foundation" I mean preserve, restore, rehabilitate and care for the biosphere. If you really wanna see people in space, we need more regulation. Far, far more.
FALSAC or NoSAC
even if humans could organize and design fully self-sustaining habitats that did not require a biosphere or extensive body modifications (unlikely), there would be little reason for us to ever bother with the energy expenditure of transitioning into or out of a gravity well ever again.
