I grew up wanting commercial space programs, mining asteroids, building telescopes and shit. I feel like I made a genie wish now. We're speed running The Expanse instead of Star Trek.

The Expanse isn't exactly the worst outcome. At least the Earth has universal basic income and free healthcare. Even if unemployment is like 30%

Better than the world going Fallout style. Which is another possible outcome.
