Capitalists gotta capital...

So, I look away from NASA for a few years and boom, they've got an entire lunar economy going.

What happened to exploration for scientific reasons? What happened to preserving neutral territories? What happened to space being beyond national borders?

Fuck you.

One thing I have learned as I grew up is the lie of "science for knowledge's sake" has been a cover the West has been using for centuries to exploit natural resources. No wonder actual basic scientific research gets ignored while applied science and technology developments (aka engineering) gets all the fucking grant money.

Just fuck you. I'm so fucking tired of this shit.
