@RustyCrab >The narrative of space exploration as a "New Frontier" has been criticized as an unreflected continuation of settler colonialism and manifest destiny, continuing the narrative of colonial exploration as fundamental to the assumed human nature.[156][157][158]

>The predominant perspective of territorial colonization in space has been called surfacism, especially comparing advocacy for colonization of Mars opposed to Venus.[159][160]

@genmaicha @RustyCrab As far as I can tell the only reasons most leftists seem to be against space colonization are that it's referred to as colonization and that Elon Musk likes it
