In both cases, the presence of humans in space is reduced to just another consumer activity that fosters the buy-me-this mentality, perpetuates the notion that consumption is what the world (and now the universe) is about, and — obviously paramount — turns yet another physical environment into a venue for advertisements. Not only is this crass, but it’s also a great disservice to those non-government-affiliated venture capitalists and entrepreneurs who are genuinely trying to make space travel a possibility: whereas they are developing the technology and the financial model that will get us there, you are trivializing the project and diluting the public discourse around it by reducing it to a gimmick. So I guess my answer is that I imagine space exploration will, in the absence of adequate public/government funding, be a capitalist enterprise — but hopefully one that doesn’t have to mean replicating the same stupefying cultural blights that make so many of us want to escape Earth in the first place."

In case of good support and funds, of course :) After all, is there anybody here not willing to become that famous? Hi all! Thanks for a wonderful conversation lol.
