Also ignoring that real cold weather up north kills the charge faster, so even as a daily driver it's not as practical as made out to be in some climates

yeah I see a bunch around here, but there is some infrastructure, and they are used as second or third vehicles by rich people. They aren't practical as a single family car nor do they make sense for most rural people.

Not sure how I feel about that.

Manned expeditions to other planets within our solar system are probably going to require a moon base or a really big space station to launch from. It makes sense that they want to explore the possibility of building a nuclear plant.

I know, it’s stupid we’re not getting more of this safe cheap power here on earth
Yeah, I get that re: further expeditions....but unless we resolve shit here on earth, does what will take generations upon generations really matter?

Well, you're not wrong, we have some big issues to solve here and now. But at some point in humanity's future we're going to have to move some folks off-planet. Doesn't hurt to invest in that future now.
The space program did develop a lot of technology it wasn’t a waste. Militarily there needs to be American or American company involvement too; don’t want China and Russia having that advantage
I really don't think we do. It's far more likely that some form of natural disaster will cause a human re-set as it's done in the past. Surviving people will adapt to whatever climate is a result.DocZaius said:
Eg's example of military purpose is a far more pressing issue I think. If we take what we're told at face value (I don't), then China has or will surpass as in technological war capability. If we really can't stop their hypersonic missile, they could drop EMP's all over America and watch us collapse very quickly and we'd never stand a chance. I don't think China is dumb enough to use nukes and destroy the landscape.

Uh oh. The James Webb telescope is problematic due to homophobia.
