Yeah, war is a gigantic waste of human effort and resources. I’m not sure going to mars should be our next goal either, maybe we could decarbonize our power grids or start reversing desertification first.
Those are much larger and complex ideas though, this meme is just about changing the delivery address on the stuff that’s already being shipped.
I mention the space industry because there’s a lot of overlap between that and the defense industrial complex in engineering terms. NRO had a couple hubble-sized telescopes laying around they built and didn’t use. USAF has their own space shuttle. They’re currently planning to update all of our ICBMs. They could move other payloads to orbit. We don’t even need ICBMs, with submarine-launched missiles, even the new ones will be obsolete bulls-eyes for nukes in the midwest.
Melt them down, liquidate the arms industry and move all their talent to aerospace.
We could have had a Startram for that money. We could have skipped fueling a few proxy wars and gone to Mars instead.
Ukraine isnt a proxy war, its Russian imperialism with an end goal of genocide.
Stopping that is mire important than Mars.
Then force the new aerospace talent to develop WH40K bolt guns which happen to be guns that shoot rocket powered projectiles.
Just send me through space in an unshielded craft please. I’ll just give myself up to the space ghosts.
Coast to coast?
WE DEMAND THAT THE WEAPONS OF WAR ARE MANUFACTURED NO MORE DEMILITARISE
WE DEMAND THAT WE HAVE IN ITS PLACE A MEANS TO UNITE AND COLONISE SPACE
Google that if you like awesome weird music

Bottom of the ocean. Better yet, recycling plant.
