I’m confused, this isn’t being funded by the government who would be responsible for US healthcare is it?
Surely a private company spending money on this to make money from the tourists is good for the space industry in general as it will help with data on building longer term space habitations for people not willing to go though the level of acclimatisation that astronauts do.
I assume the implication is that a level of wealth disparity that could allow tourists to holiday in space while other people can’t get essential medicines… is bad.
Ok but don’t people living in Syria and the USA deserve healthcare? Shouldn’t all humans get food, shelter and medicine when there is clearly the resources to ensure we all have those things?
Syria has been in civil war since 2011… America has a choice of right wing leader 1 or right wing leader 2. How is any of that a real choice? We’re all just slaves.
I’m not Syrian or American, but I have empathy for everyone. We’re all just humans born behind certain borders by chance. Let’s remember we’re all one and explore space together.
Everytime I see memes like this it always makes me laugh how america-centric people’s positions are. Can the counties that already have healthcare enjoy space travel without septics moaning about their country, lol.
It’s not about space tourism, it’s about unbelievably wealth inequality. And that’s pretty binary, we can’t have normal society and this much inequality

But essential medicines are free! Where do you live? Syria or something?

They have the governments they chose. They deserve what they have.

That’s for you to sort out, unless you want a foreign invasion. Meanwhile we’re going to space! With free essential medicines!

People in countries that are differ from you deserve not being dead as much as you do
It’s not binary though is it, we can have healthcare and space tourism.

Do they though? They vote for politicians who don’t like free healthcare, thus they deserve to pay for it. It’s your fault, but we’re going to space!
Don’t bring your logic to Lemmy. We want to kill the billionaires, have healthcare and live by Lenin, Marx and Mao’s law. Begone, liberal!
