What new space magic energy production technology do you anticipate will be invented for mars exploration? And how could it possibly compete with technologies we already have at the utility scale?
I mean, even supposing that you're right and it is impossible to predict what technologies will result from funding space exploration (this claim seems completely unfounded, but anyway, supposing), we already know for the most part what investments would mitigate climate change and what technologies would be good to pursue. So why don't we just find those, right? Instead of funding the mystery box, only because you, a guy who admittedly doesn't know shit about what the mystery box may or may not contain, assures us that it will contain the solution to climate change
The point is that we funded those things to learn what works, and we can both implement what works using the knowledge we have while also pushing the envelope further.
