    Oh great, capitalism has extended its greedy hand beyond our planet. It was better when governments were doing space missions, it was at least mostly for scientific interest and the good of humanity as a whole.

      Oh so you’d find it better if those greedy companies would destroy our planet, jungles and oceans full of life instead of a lifeless asteroid somewhere in the galaxy huh? Think about it
