Well it’s against your ideology

Because it helps the rich lmao

why does asteroid mining have to be done by some extremely rich person

why can't a government do it?

Broo

Look at NASA

They can't do shit

because they don't have funding

Only the private sector innovates

I might have it mixed up @Diogenes

Not true

But if I remember correctly

they have way less money available to them than the private sector does

Asteroid mining fucks with our economy

free shit is not about do destroy our economy

Government is useless when it comes to doing things. All they can do is fund and make laws

Yes and you can't arbitrarily give them more money from the budget. It needs to go to things like healthcare and infra

It’s not about free shit

It’s about the price tag

That’s why space is privatized

KeK

yeah except NASA actually returns a profit when you consider all the technologies it develops being used elsewhere in the economy

Who cares?

also asteroid mining may be one of the most profitable ventures in human history

Why are you bringing profit into this? I am talking any innovation

I really don’t get it

You’re a socialist

Well first off

because if it profits, then it's basically free

muhh asteroid mining

NASA is too big to actually be efficient

some real retard-brained takes in this server

Do you support Elon musk going after a 700 quintillion dollar rock @Diogenes

do you actually know what I stand for @Chris Senor?

Well you are a socialist

I actually laid this out explicitly for you

That's.... That's not how it works...

Why tf would the govt even give them money in that case?
NASA isn't a company

And you’ve said eat the rich multiple times

I stand for capitalism with a some very strong socialist policies

Big issue: we live very far from the asteroid belt. The resources needed to go to the belt, mine and go back, even without any incident (which I doubt) still wouldn't be worth what you bring back

false
