While on vacation to Turks and Caicos a few weeks back we saw the second stage of a Falcon 9 fly overhead, right from the balcony of our hotel room. I knew there was a launch at that time and that the flight path is often over TCI, so while listening to the live stream we saw the second stage come over the horizon and fly overhead.

I’ve been fascinated by space ever since I was a young child. I went to Space Camp and Space Academy, I worked at NASA for all of my summers in college, and I almost majored in aeroastro. With all of the things going on, Elon’s tarnishing of space exploration is frustrating and relatively inconsequential compared to all of the other horrible things he’s doing to destroy this country. However, it’s also deeply personal. Commercial space travel had/has the potential to be revolutionary. Unfortunately, the ways in which Elon is flawed make me fear that rather than being a way to help humanity reach some aspects of its potential, SpaceX may instead be on a dystopian path. Innovation is great, but engineering complex systems is all about making trade-offs and it’s clear that decisions are being made to ignore environmental impact and other similar issues all in the name of progress. Sending people to Mars in this context seems like it would quickly end in the “corporate dystopian” version of humans on Mars seen in so much scifi.
