thats the problem when the aryan horsemen colonised central asia and europe it was a frontier promised by gods and spread with violence. when the western euros colonised the world it was a frontier and was charged to spread ideology and order and for resources. this repeats throughout history. there is no will here. there is no violence. there is no real ideology driving space-exploration beyond bored billionaires and a vague shrug at "maybe it will be profitable eventually..." these efforts could be reaimed at a societal restructuring first. if the third reich began colonising the moon or whatever it would have a completely different feeling and purpose- a true "frontier" that was driven by a pioneering spirit. some of this trickled through to the apollo program, but as of today that spirit is entirely dead and buried.
