Your view furthest outside the Overton window?

[Agonized-Statism]

Space offers us very little and expansion into it would be actively harmful even under a stateless and classless society, but especially under capitalism because it can make powerful people value Earth even less by giving them somewhere else to go and a great place to drop weapons of mass destruction from. Not that they would thrive, since we've evolved within very specific living conditions and can't survive long-term without Earth's gravity, magnetosphere, or pressure. The distances between resources are so vast even within our solar system that space mining wouldn't be profitable even with fantastical technologies, but even if it were, we've damaged our own planet enough. The materials needed to build a Dyson sphere around the Sun to "progress" to a Type II civilization would take the destruction of whole sections of the asteroid belt and the inner ring planets. I'm not some armchair philosophizing deep green who's all in on anti-anthropocentrism- our exploitation of sentient life is wrong in principle, but under our conditions right now it's justifiable, not everyone in the world can go meatless yet for example- but there's an argument to be made about the ethics of terraforming other planets. And if we end up encountering other life, the odds are that we would repeat what the Europeans did in the Americas or get crushed ourselves.

This is probably a rare take because those who oppose space exploration are usually only concerned about short-term cost. I've come to doubt it would ever be a good thing even in the far future.

Also, there should be no regulation at all on personal ownership of weapons. No one should have a monopoly on violence. American society does have a violence problem, not just with guns, and it comes from social atomization reaching unprecedented heights.
