    This isn’t really space science related, just commercialization. And about focusing on Earth: we should let scientists work on what they’re passionate about, IMO they’ll be more motivated to research their field of choice

      SpaceX has developed laundry list of new technology to enable Starlink and other endeavors. It’s silly to discount that as worthless.

          AND makes life far worse for literally the entire planet.

          Imagine unilaterally deciding that increasing your already obscene fortune is more important than every living creature that will ever exist in the future having a sky to enjoy, ever again. To these people, human joy is not something worth preserving.

            To these people, human joy is an indulgence for the weak.

            You know how over-exaggerated cartoonish villains will talk about how love and caring make you weak? Basically that.

        lol just so you know a “laundry list” is a list of bad things.

        And no, rockets that can put stuff into orbit where around even before Mama Musk shat out lil Mech-Hitler.
