Granted, and yet I'm still pretty firmly against space privatisation on general principles. When there's money to be made on a frontier, I feel like the last thing we want is big corporations throwing their weight around.

Practically speaking I realise NASA has its limitations, I just deeply yearn for space to be treated as a strictly peaceful public good, rather than a profitable endeavour. Now we've got the US using SpaceX as a diplomatic cudgel against Ukraine, and it's only going to get worse from here. I'm not going to stop wishing for things to have been different, even if I catch shit for it.
