Do we love our cars and vacations more than our planet? Should we continue to focus on consumption and leisure, or shift the focus to responsibility and survival?
answering your question, I sold my car two years ago and I don't abuse the use of taxis and airplanes (most times I use the subway, it's not that comfortable but it's ok to me. traffic in my city is a chaos anyway, and I'm young, so, whatever). that's my personal choice and I don't go around preaching to others. If you got a SUV and flight every week to attend useless meetings, fine. one person alone cannot make any difference for good or for bad, it's a question of conscience.
but, returning to the topic of space endeavours.... I think that the commercial/private trips can also help in the advance of understanding and inspiration. I for one, hope that I can take a good look at our mother big-blue-ball before I die *_*
I'm all for the sustainable advance of technology,
but in that especific order: first sustainable, then advance ^_^
