Big corporations are the worst thing to happen for future space travel being more available.

But whatever then. I for one welcome our capitalist overlords.

Edit: idk why this gets so much hype anyways. We've been able to deliver astronauts to the space station for a long time now. This seems to literally celebrate the fact that corporate interests are taking over spaceflight too.

and in a communist country that would be the end of it. at least in usa there are other corporations to try and compete with this scheme

who do you think paid to send those astronauts to the space station?

[harcha]

who do you think provides the technology that makes it possible?

[Horsemen]

who do you think gives the government its power?

[fightinfrenchman]

There are better threads for this insanely tired argument

[Ashvin]

idk why people think its a big deal

Good thing that private companies do this so that tax payer money isn’t wasted on vanity projects like this

Hopefully this will make it possible for Elon Musk and other billionaires to move to Mars for good.
Mars is probably going to be their next tax haven resort, just like Monaco.
