writing it in python makes me actually want to read the book, in fact i definitely will give it a read. if it was done in rust or go id probably skip it, and c++ is just too hard to look at for a fun project. will come back after reading and hopefully have something more meaningful to say about it.

how do you get the system to change itself when it benefits so greatly from the status quo. massive protests? vote them out? those would require organisation and cooperation from people that can easily be turned against each other. no, the system stays as it is or gets worse. sorry to be a downer has there ever been a situation where massive self interest like this have been overcome?
I personally think this mission is amazing for many reasons. But the astronauts aren't free floating in space, they're just poking their heads out the hatch.
I have not read your links, but I can only assume from watching events unfold elsewhere that what is happening in Australia is a subset of the global situation.
