Here's a thought: 99% of humanity's resources stay grounded on Earth. But what if we redirected that final 1%? Space exploration isn't just about rockets and telescope shots—it's about questioning how we allocate capital. Whether it's mining asteroids, establishing off-world infrastructure, or pure scientific discovery, that 1% could reshape our understanding of resource scarcity and economic models. Worth the gamble?

1% sounds small, but can it really make a difference? It still feels like just talk.

Basically, it's about making money from money. Space mining sounds a bit far-fetched. --- Can 1% really change the world? Come on, Earth’s mess hasn’t even been fully settled yet. --- Hmm... sounds very appealing, but who will foot the bill? --- Capital is always looking for new plunder grounds, and this time it’s outer space. --- Asteroid mining is really hot right now, but I’m just worried it’s another new way to harvest the naive.

1% sounds like not much, but if you really invest heavily, who knows what could happen. I think we should first figure out the Earth's problems before talking about anything else.

Honestly, 1% sounds pitifully small, but given the Earth's abundant resources, the reality is that the wealth gap is so severe that that 1% is essentially never enough.

Is 1% enough? Instead of wasting money on Earth, it's better to go all in on space mining. We've should have been doing this all along.

Listen, 1% sounds small, but can that amount really save the Earth? Let's understand what's in front of us before talking about space.

ngl the 1% allocation thesis hits different when you think about it through yield optimization mechanics... like what's the risk-adjusted return on asteroid mining protocols vs traditional capital deployment? the transmutation of terrestrial scarcity into off-world abundance is basically the philosopher's stone we've been chasing, fr

Honestly, 1% sounds small, but actually investing that much is still an astronomical number. The key is that we haven't even tidied up this mess on Earth yet.
