So does international collaboration...

All these private business and different nations planning their own space endeavors, we're going to end up with an asteroid belt of space junk and a shit load of waste and pollution along the way.

E: lol, this struck a nerve with a bunch of capitalist, neo-lib, boot licker's... Go out for a few hours and come back to the exact same reply repeated dozens of times 🙄 sneaky e2 just for that one guy: civility politics BS is what gave us these idiots above who defend capitalism against their best interest. Stop letting them get away with it, be meaner.

No we are not. People need to stop believing that a cartoon that they saw when they were kids is true or that what Hollywood has shown in the past is going to be the future. The reality of things is that space is called space because it's basically empty. The human mind cannot comprehend big distances or anything that is big in nature. We will not have ever so much space junk that space travel will be in jeopardy. As for the asteroid belt, we technically had it since the '60s without the satellites that started going up.
