    It seems a better expenditure than flinging cars into outer space, but that’s just me. 🤷

      If Elon Musk wanted to use his company to be a dipshit and fling his car into space, why not?

      The EPA and other regulators could control them better, but whatever ventures they choose to make are their own dumb choices. The only ways their dumb PR project intersects with anything NASA related is theyre both doing space things and NASA happens to give them contracts (which is how they’re able to afford to launch a car into space as a PR stunt).

        I mean we’re all nail-bitingly hoping Musk-and-friends’ increasing amount of space trash doesn’t intersect with NASA equipment as much as it already intersects our line of sight to the cosmos. :( lol
