Isn't there space for both?

No. Flatly. You do not get to eject any more human garbage into the cosmos from which we came-- you already have WHOLE FUCKING ARRAYS of busted up satellites and pieces of rockets and a bunch of other more shit floating in high orbit that you have no plans to go retrieve, mind you; fuck would you propose making even more for? Other than the narcissistic techbro flex, I mean?

There is no way you are this upset about piece of metal existing on Mars, littering the rocks. You're upset about something else and transferring it.

It physically enrages me every time I look into the night sky ad have to question how much of what I'm seeing up there is just dead space junk. I grew up considering the cosmos more beautiful, and honestly, more sacred than even the ocean that perpetuates our planet. So no, it actually does anger me that people just brazenly throw around ideas of doing what they've already done to Earth to other planets, and honestly fuck you for trying to minimize that rage.

Are you a psychiatrist? Do you have ANY kind of accreditation or doctorate to make such a call? I don't know how you got a lemmygrad account; but I can only take it to mean the moderation there really is slipping.
