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
In the future who knows
