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.

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

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?

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.

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!
