    If you watch the Everyday Astronaut Elon interviews, it’s clear he knows a lot about rocketry, understands the workings of SpaceX in minute detail, and is obviously not just a disconnected CEO. While I’ll concede that he has played a great part in the success of his companies, I really don’t like the idea that pieces of shit like Elon and Bezos will have an oligopoly on space travel. I’d really like to see reusable rockets become more of a commodity with a lot of competition, because the future of space travel is too important to be under the control of dickheads like them.

      On the contrary as I’d love to see all of the oligarchs become obsessed with space travel to the exclusion of everything else. If their level of obsession is sufficient, we might be able to get them off the planet.
