Even better

Countries sending people to space: .... Space is a hostile environment so we have to work really hard at creating a liveable atmosphere, protect it and maintain it to ensure our long term survival.

Back in earth: The companies, corporations, governments and workers that helped to build the rocket drive away in gas powered vehicles so that they can all go live in homes powered by coal powered generators, that are pumping air borne pollution into their planet sized space craft that only has a thin layer of breathable, liveable atmosphere with no backup or emergency rescue.

In 1954 Harrison Schmitt had a choice of what to study, he chose geology. Did he know this would make him the last person to walk on the moon?
