      This is why I don’t know why people are excited about SpaceX launches. Did you know Jeff Bezos owns Blue Origin, and he bought The Expanse so they wouldn’t cancel it, and so he could continue watching it because he loved it so much. What do you think is going through his mind there? It’s scary. These people are so evil.

    Meanwhile the Tiangong space station began construction in 2021 and has been continuously crewed since June 2022. It currently has capacity for six people, and via UNOOSA-organized cooperation has plans to host experiments from 17 countries including Belgium, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Spain. The first non-Chinese person to travel there will likely be from Pakistan. (The US would be welcome too but Congress currently prohibits NASA from participating.)

    How is it possible that no one in charge of NASA has ever read science fiction? This is exactly the wrong direction they should be going, and it should be common sense by now, to know that.

    At this point I wouldn’t trust our country’s leadership to run a bus route let alone a space agency. But I can’t imagine the private space sector advancing anything besides investor profits. It’s a lose lose.
