Good tourism is how you avoid wars. No cruises, yes local, trained guides. It's harder to hate what you know.

Good racing got us the TGV. Formula One is a testbed for hybrid vehicles and efficiency. I don't know enough to say NASCAR brings no benefits at all, but pretty close to useless.

The current race for resources on the Moon is awful, but unmanned space exploration has helped us learn a lot about our own planet, including the mechanisms of climate change.

What makes you think this is about wars ....the comic ends with "no more climate change"... Not "no more wars".

But also you're spouting Neo-Liberal propaganda. Italy no doubt hosted international races before being fought against in WW2, and Climate Change is obviously going to have more resource wars than before.

But why does no one here understand my pitch is CLEARLY UTOPIAN. It proposes global solidarity on climate change. Which is obviously a UTOPIAN pitch about climate change.

CLIMATE CHANGE.

Dude... Take a chill pill, look at the sky, and then re-read my comment under a non confrontational light.

No, it's my utopic idea. I say we don't need a space program in it...

What part of downsizing our reliance on technology leads everyone to comment and say we need a space program. Why you all so illiterate?

Clearly if I'm talking about downsizing to a scaled back version of society I'm NOT on team rocket.

All you confrontational assholes aren't going to get me to choose rockets over halting climate change.
