Right? What could possibly go wrong by putting our future in space in the hands of a bunch of narcissistic dickbag billionaires?

Nobody ever said it we start spreading into space, we won't be taking all our current problems with us. Star Trek kinda gave us a rosy vision.

It's probably going to be more like the Expanse but more violent, oppressive, and jingoistic.

The expanse makes it very clear that there was no shortage of space oppression before the events that occur in the books

Rosy? Star Trek said we had to go through a nuclear apocalyptic war before learning to cooperate.
