One example of the Optimist's Edge
💡 Optimist’s Edge: Should we fix Earth before going to space?
61 percent believe we should 'fix Earth' before we go to space.
That is wrong.
Optimist's Edge:
We need space to fix Earth.
Without satellites it will be much harder and more expansive to fight climate change, save coral reefs and help people during natural disasters.
But our facts show that satellites can help us understand Earth better by providing vital information in many different areas, giving a global perspective with many details on problems that before only could be studied in pieces at a time.
Satellites can, for instance, photograph and monitor Earth’s surface, help with predictions by observing weather and climate, and monitor ecosystems that are otherwise hidden.
