What is the intrinsic value of going to space over the potential of complete subjugation and/or tossing them aside to fend for themselves while the rich and well-connected go on space as ventures and live in luxury?

For them: it's just the next step in their idiot adolescent space opera fantasy. These are grown ass men frozen into 11-year old boy mental and emotional states. Space is cool. (Narrator: these dipshits aside, space actually is cool.) They think FINALLY THIS WILL GET THEM LAID!

For us: fleeing.

Short of genociding the derps, which I think we can agree is not a great way to advance humanity, the only way to be rid of them is to fragment and go to worlds where they are not permitted. That is the next phase of humanity. Leave the sociopaths to kill themselves on their feudal-theocratic sewer planets.

Yes, most of us will die, but what were you really accomplishing anyway? This way, we can develop a human future that does not involve the apes who failed to evolve.

Right. I'm saying I'm ok with that. It pushes the species throughout the galaxy.

We aren't colonizing mars for another century. We can't even live under water for month on end without substantial training and only in limited numbers.

Instead you think we're going to live on a planet that's freezing, is inhospitable to life, and gets a fraction of the sunlight? Nah, we're way, way way way off from that.

The energy needed survive there would be astronomical to build the infrastructure and just as much to sustain. We're much, much better off fixing earth.
 
We're half a century from being able to temporarily base the southern lunar pole where tiny amounts of water and Helium 3 is. Mars is 100+ years away and I'd rather deal with Titan if I'm going to imagine colonizing in this Solar System.

We barely inhabit areas like Greenland, Siberia, and Antarctica. All are infinitely more hospitable than the moon or mars.
 
I want to say that this is something that I'm not opposed to. Electronic transactions would still have the penny amount. But cash transactions would be rounded to the nickle. I believe Canada (and other countries) already do this.

I'm fine with things like this, the elimination of DST, removing poison chemicals from food (Red40). What I don’t want is these things to come at the cost this administration is doing with *gestures broadly*... a constitutional crisis so he can be richer isn't worth an extra year on my life. Especially when they're just gonna find other ways to kill us all.
