There's a lot of fuckery afoot as far as space goes. There are even companies trying to get world governments to allow them to put satellites in space so ads can be beamed into the night sky. I made a video about it if anyone's bored.
The good news is that the scientific community fought back hard against it.
I support jettisoning corporations into space.
