Why Space Colonization will Never Happen in Any of Our Lifetimes.

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have invested a lot of money in space technology and rockets. Jeff Bezos has proposed building space stations that look like pills for some reason which is ridiculous because it will never happen in his lifetime.

Also, the stuff about technology, space colonization or my view on aliens is my opinion so don’t take it all as fact. The only part that should be taken as fact is we have to take care of the planet and that space colonization will never happen in our lifetimes and why the billionaires are spending money on it.

This is all a pipedream and seriously talking about space colonization outside of the realm of fiction is like someone from 1721 discussing how to cure cancer. When they don’t even have vaccines or antibiotics yet and still believe in using leeches and bloodletting. Space colonization will never happen in our lifetime because humans are at least 300 years away from terraforming planets, traveling faster than light travel.

Humans can also do not have the ability to transport all the materials needed to build these colonies and cannot even launch anything into space without hundreds of people working on the project.

Launching rockets into space also costs millions of dollars and is very expensive so average people will never be able to afford to go to one of these colonies and will only be for the rich and astronauts. So there will be few people to colonize space colonies and it will be uncomfortable so the wealthy will definitely prefer their mansions and penthouse on Earth.

The only way humans can access technology like faster than light travel, terraforming worlds, etc technology required to colonize space is if they have gotten them from aliens and extraterrestrial life.

I think the war crimes of the US government and other horrible genocides in history like the Holocaust, the Ongoing Blockade of Yemen, Armenian Genocide will discourage the aliens from sharing their technology to Earth out of fear that countries like China, the USA, and Russia will use the acquired technology to conquer them.

I believe the US government knows aliens exist and have the ability to contact them but have no access to their technology because if they did they would probably use them on other aliens to expand their empire.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos is spending millions of dollars on SpaceX and building rockets because they are really bored and have nothing else to spend their money on.

Also, they use it to justify corporatism to the population and argue that corporatism is fine and won’t destroy humanity because we can colonize space.

Maybe instead of spending on technology and working on something that is centuries away they should mainly focus on working on helping the poor in this country.

Mush and Bezos

Also instead of wasting time on something that is centuries away we should focus on healing the planet, stopping climate change, and transitioning off fossil fuels in favor of renewable and thorium energy. So the planet can be suitable for human life for future centuries. So humans can advance further enough to do things like terraform worlds, traveling faster than the speed of light, and the ability to build and launch ships without taking hundreds of people.

I have written an article on aliens before if you want to read it as well.

The reason why I am writing this article is because of an article about Caitlin Johnstone which I will provide a link to in this article. I agree with everything about this article except that humans cannot colonize space part.

I think there are other worlds with ecosystems similar to ours and that aliens exist with several species having the ability to travel through space and colonize other worlds. I just think these aliens are thousands of years more advanced than we are and we are not there yet. I just don’t think they want to contact us out of fear of the US empire and to a lesser extent nations like China and Russia.

I think colonizing Space can happen but not in our lifetimes. I think that won’t happen until like during the 24th century at least or possibly a few centuries longer.

I do find Caitlin Johnstones take on the topic interesting though and it really sharpened my brain. Also just maybe though if the US empire falls and the revolution happens that Kate keeps talking about then maybe the aliens will not feel threatened by humans anymore and contact us and we can finally have these things. I don’t think that is going to happen but it is fun to think about.

I just have loads of fun speculating about aliens and thinking about the wonderful technology humans will have in the future and honestly, I think the world in the 24th century will either be a lifeless wasteland or an advanced civilization.

If humans are going to do these wonderful things like colonizing space then they have to take care of the planet until humanity can do things that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk want to do. Also, I would prefer Elon Mush from now on if you don’t mind I just think it is more appropriate.

So unless we can freeze ourselves like Han Solo or download our brains online I don’t think it will ever happen in our lifetime.

Also this just my opinion. I am unsure if aliens really have contact with the US government or if faster than light travel is even possible or that humans can colonize other worlds.

Whatever or not humans can even possibly do these things is unknown and beyond our knowledge. But it is a fact that space colonization is not going to happen in our lifetime and any attempt to do that in the 21st century is a waste of time.

People from 1021 likely speculated what the world will be like today and we are constantly be speculating what the world will be like in 2100 or 3000 or whatever.

I think whatever it is there will be technologies and concepts we never have imagined before. However, the only thing I think you should take as a fact in this article is that space colonization is not happening in our lifetime and that you should take care of the planet instead of wasting money on technology we don’t have yet or will never have.

Anyways I am done for the day and make sure to follow me on Twitter if you are interested. Also, I am using Grammarly and don’t have the money for the premium edition so I can only fix spelling errors and punctuation and stuff like that for now.
