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.

So be it. There are single asteroids worth $10 quintillion up there, and it's laughable to think private equity won't step on our necks to get it first, when the capability arises, which is just a matter of time.

The way I see it, the stakes are higher than global internet or cheap rockets. We're having this much trouble with mere billionaires, and someone this century will make Warren Buffet look broke.

So, I guess I'm saying don't wait for the Avengers. They've all got Punisher stickers on their cars.

Don't make me beg

I can't imagine having this condition
