To reach the stars, we will have to look away from our phones. We can get to other planets only with fusion rockets. We will develop fusion rockets only when we have fusion power. We will have fusion power only if we try to address climate change. We will address climate change only if people believe that it is happening. People will believe that it is happening only if social media are reformed. Musk owns a platform that instructs us that climate change is a hoax. That makes space travel much less likely.
