I'm angry with myself for being so excited watching SpaceX actually landing and reusing rockets. It is admittedly a super cool technical accomplishment, but the massive drop in orbit cost is being used to make LEO uninhabitable and boil the ozone.
@JessTheUnstill Don't be. There's nothing wrong with being excited by the first actual advance in rocketry in 50 years. It's not your fault capitalism did its thing.

@JessTheUnstill yeah, it's hard not to feel guilty but reusable rockets made science or accessible too.

I just hope sane heads end up in charge of regulations at some point to mitigate the damage being done.

@JessTheUnstill

i'm in the same bucket. i love the technology they've built. i hate how it's being used and the damage they've caused while developing that tech.

@moriel @JessTheUnstill I remember first getting the ick when I realized the drone ships are named after criticisms of Musk that he took as insults
@JessTheUnstill im angry at myself too and also angry at myself for working in that realm for 20 years. I never worked at SpaceX (and everyone i talked to said it was a horrible place to work), but they have completely poisoned the joy and dreams I used to find in working on space systems.
@eleanor Space is still cool, regardless of what the billionaires are doing with it.
