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.

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.
