news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 13:18:28

In the wake of the largest supply-chain attack in history, the JavaScript community could have a moment of reckoning and decide: never again.

“Going to space will not end war because war isn’t caused by anything that space travel is apt to change, even in the most optimistic scenarios,” they write. “Humanity going to space en masse probably won’t reduce the likelihood of war, but we should consider that it might increase the chance of war being horrific.” The pair imagine rival space nations exchanging asteroid fire or poisoning whole biospheres.
