After checking the girl's Twitter profile which has pronouns "she/they" listed, it is clear she only became an engineer because of affirmative action policies.

Which is why SpaceX is going to Mars, and NASA is still unable to put someone in orbit.

Well, why waste someone with reproductive value on a one way mission that will be to pave the way for actual colonists and will have 0% long term survival chances.

Send the canary first, then when the air doesn't kill it, move in.

Edit: That is to say, I don't think fertile people fucking mid trip would be a benefit, apart from nutrition calculations going out the window, I don't think we have the tech to land a pregnant person safely, and people born in orbit... probably wouldn't ideal at this stage of our tech development.

Not to mention how babies so soon after landing would affect performance.

At this point, NASA is just as effective as the FTC and the FEC. A Melvin voice saying "Please don't do that. It might be bad."

didn't I hear something not too long ago about another country offering space for launch facilities for SpaceX?

Didn't the FAA pull some of Elon Musk's permits as political revenge "for safety reasons"?

That will happen about a month before space X buys their own Caribbean island to launch from.

Elon is beyond giving a shit and corporations are far beyond the ability to reign in that simply.

Pretty much. I say within most people's lifetimes you'll see a corporation basically own a small island nation.

Give it a decade or two and a trillion dollars will be a reasonable amount of money for someone to have, buying-power-wise.

Which we could afford if we didn't have a welfare state annually dumping billions down a hole.

And said colony could potentially generate trillions in profit from mining operations, or as a jumping off point to the Asteroid Belt where there are even more resources. And that's not even getting into the potential profit generated from providing services and goods to miners.

Of course that would require infrastructure to ferry materials and people back and forth, which would require a lot of upfront investment but would certainly pay off within a few years.

Point is it's doable and will almost certainly be profitable, but the tech and infrastructure aren't funded enough to do it yet.

I’m thinking she realizes that she is a diversity hire deep down, otherwise she wouldn’t be trying to make herself seem like an underdog.

You mean some cunt, who flapped her eyelashes at a nerd in hiring, was hired even though she wasn't the best available candidate? Truly shocked.
