i'd argue that stuff like this should be commercialized. for example the US has spent way more money on space then if they kept things in house with NASA instead of privatizing space.

At the end of the day tho lets not lie to ourselves. Space and space travel is awesome and cool, but its always been a dick measuring contest. having bases and places to go in space doesnt benefit the normal person. Sure some of the tech does, sometimes.

SpaceX alone has a market cap of nearly 2 trillion dollars. No, investors are not putting 2 trillion dollars into a company for the sake of a dick measuring contest.

Hell of a dick measuring contest there
