Friendly reminder to capitalists scumbags that we would already be in space and living on the moon/mars with more science-based economic systems like communism. SpaceX is the equivalent of you having a family member get killed, and they were going to give $10 billion dollars,, but you never get it and instead you get a $100 from another relative. They are both "good" but one would have resulted in more. Same applies to SpaceX we should have already been colonizing Mars by now.
