But what launch provider should I use then?
Boeing? No, I don't think so.
don't use any. space programs are wholly unnecessary
You don't like GNSS?
Also space programs have been the source of a lot of world changing inventions.
because spending money on space exploration when people are homeless and hungry is wrong
Are you 12?
Are you? stfu or go invent a microwave that prevents neoliberal mayors and govenors (at least in the US's system) from sicking cops on their own constituents while giving the real estate contracts to their buddies who are only interested in building McMansions. 🤡
Edit: As a rule I dont get dragged into pointless debates.
Im as enthusiastic for space as they come.

Simply put, until we address the root causes of systemic injustice which are low hanging fruit, and by that I mean do away with the parasitic billionaires who prevent that, any venture into space shall be doomed to come crashing back down for the self-canniblizing fascism which imperialism is.
It'd be funny, if it werent so sad, to see clearly the indignance and hipocrisy from those who believe themselves so enlightended, double down on the "importance of space" exploitation, capital extraction and colonization...without ever considering the rest of the picture.
I used to be bothered by the lyric
Neoliberals had their chance with this fucking dynamic, and blew it.
I have no interest in a future in space that is owned by assholes and authoritarians. That doesnt mean i give up on Star Trek. It means I recognize this society is barreling ignorantly toward the bell riots.
Whataboutism. Just because you don't find space exploration necessary (it absolutely is), does not mean you find homelessness tolerable and it doesn't even relate.
What does this have to do with space exploration, you absolute child?
So you're saying your comment has fuck all to do with space exploration and you were just looking for an excuse to drag everyone into a conversation about capitalism.
Funny.
GPS is terrible and I hate being able to find places
I agree that manned space programs are unnecessary and unmanned should be very limited. Starlink shouldn't have been allowed. Unfortunately the US government let telecoms off the hook when it came to serving rural areas.
