> when random billionaire #38 puts in $5 million to space ventures, they're willing to also give $5 million to the environment

It was never going to the environment. It was going into space ventures or into some consumer play. There is practically zero competition between space and environmental concerns. (To the extent environmental concerns compete for resources, it's with discretionary social services. Similar donor bases. Similar line items in most national budgets.)

The engineers working on rockets wouldn't pivot to environmental sciences if we closed off space. Some would go to defence. Most would go to random other areas, likely those that pay well, like finance and that consumer play the aforementioned billionaire funded.

> people can't just focus on twenty causes effectively

We're investing more into crypto than we are into space.
