>Becoming a space faring civilization requires a pragmatic and globally homogeneous society. Only then can adequate resources be allocated to research, space exploration and travel, while maintaining a sustainable economy.
Really? More money is spent on just gambling in just the United States in just a single year than has been spent on SpaceX in its entirety.
Compared to an entire global economy, spaceflight requires a trivially small amount of resources. The greatest threat to it is not an inability of a species to acquire and coordinate the resources, but of parts of the species deliberately preventing it from happening. And given that it's such a small portion of life, it's infinitely more likely for a homogenized planet to be one of people who don't care about spaceflight or actively seek to disrupt it than it is for them to be people who do care about spaceflight.
