Once again, I'm reminded of how much the billionaire space race has absolutely destroyed my love of rockets.

10 years ago, I definitely would have been paying close attention to the current giant SpaceX launch. But because I know it's going to be used to launch hundreds of unregulated, unsafe, polluting, for-profit Starlink satellites at once, I just can't look.

Instead of being excited and awestruck by a new gigantic rocket launch, it just makes me want to puke.

@sundogplanets the billionaire's acolytes have done as much or more damage. They seem to care very little about actual space exploration and spaceflight. Instead filling up most forums with loud and ignorant apologia for the fantasies of their messiah.
