Not sure if you're being serious or not.

I couldn't disagree more. Space exploration is the ultimate expression of our European Faustian spirit. It's what we Europeans do. We go further than anyone else. The Moon landing was the greatest achievement of all time, and we have Nazi rocket scientists to thank for that by the way.

The distinction lies in the motivation. Putting people in space just to say "We did it, bitches!" is fake and gay because the goal is mere social approval. Putting people in space as a real foundation for expanding the species beyond Earth is actually meaningful.

However, the latter needs long-term investment, serious scientific prowess, and an outward-thinking culture. We liberal democrats can't have that...

That's not what actually happened.

No, but it's how a lot of people today perceive it.
