I absolutely cannot relate to the HN excitement over rockets. What is the point? What are we going to do with them? It feels like half religion half misplaced techno-positivism.

(Also a person who actively platforms outspoken neo-nazis runs the company that is launching them)

Rockets are good. They give us hope that one day we ll explore the stars. Let people enjoy the small wins.

Also the hope that we can go on vacation to the lunar hilton, or orbital O'Neill colony.
