As my daughter pointed out to me once, sci-fi space movies always take place on spaceships. The powerful and middle class live on spaceships. Planets are almost always desolate dirty hellscapes mostly serving as mining colonies where the filthy poor live. Star Trek is an exception as it’s a perfect society in every way but the rest follow the same playbook.

With Elon and Bezos on board it feels like we are headed in that direction.
