How do astronauts get to space, smartass?
They hitch a ride on a rocket built by someone else.

It's like you didn't read the article. This has nothing to do with rockets.

That's pretty much any new tech or industrial process though. Just a very critical step for a long-term and large scale moon base.

Good chance that some stars are flung out into the void though. Imagine being a young civilization in one of those, your understanding of the universe would be pretty handicapped.

We can switch transportation methods to something more sustainable. We don't have a method yet to deal with endless plastic waste. Microplastics and bioaccumulation along with most of the climate change impacts from plastic production anyways is worse.
Ideally just legislate that any bottled water producers actually recycle as many bottles as they use. Add recycling costs to the products if required, that'll show the true cost. People who need water can always rely on refillable jugs if this cost is justly high.

>Also, cc debt tends to be highest when unemployment is low. People borrow more when they earn more. I buy that big screen TV because I feel confident I can repay it.
That's not certain. People also rely on cc debt to make ends meet. The spike in 2009 is not explainable otherwise.

Silly plants growing on top of a volcano. It's like those silly humans building beachfront property in Miami!
Brilliant picture though.
