So, Boeing? Northrop? Who would you like to send things into space?

People don't know SpaceX has cut launch costs by more than 4x

It’s more like 100x isn’t it?

I think we should figure out how to not fill space with a bunch of trash (aw hell, let’s include not adding more trash to earth, too) before we continue to send things/people into the universe to explore.

Hard disagree. You should look up all the stuff they research on the ISS. Also there’s a lot of “junk” that helps us here on the ground.

Lol, I’m not against scientific exploration and advancement. I’m against pollution. But it’s fine to disagree… my opinion is my own, and yours is yours.

Yeah, if you’re against pollution, you should really look up what they research on the ISS.

Well everything we do causes pollution so the more valuable something is the less reasonable it is to target it with pollution complaints.
The only way to stop pollution entirely is to self destruct our civilization. So barring that it’s all about which endeavors are worth the pollution.

One space satellite is probably mor3xenvironmentally friendly then many many miles of wired telecommunications.

Why not use existing infrastructure rather than build from scratch? Seems like it's better for everyone involved.

Competition is good for everyone involved. I do hope we don’t get too many global networks of satellites.

How about we don’t give Bezos and Musk any more power?
