If you equated stop destroying the planet with stopping space development, that's on you. I clarified my stance in a comment below it minutes later.

I take offense to you and people like you thinking space is habitable or easy instead of insanely environmentally challenging, unknown, and complex. Seeing it as an escape instead of the immense and violent challenge it is. It's disrespectful to both life and the accomplishments of those before you.

So yes, you are deranged. I've not attempted any gaslighting. You continue to argue with yourself, ignore nuances, and call my logic faulty when it's not. You hand wave immense complexities of shit you **do not understand ** just because you've seemingly read the wiki on it. It's astounding. You even think space is habitable, which it is undebatbly at this time, not, and that's before comparing it to our immeasurably more habitable planet. The frustration I experience reading the shit you post is from this inherent fallacy you've attached yourself to. I even agreed with the immense increase in space funding you asked for, explicitly, and yet you seemingly doubt my alignment to continued scientific development.
