I work in the space industry. I feel like I should be celebrating this, but I just find it hard to be enthusiastic about the commercialization of space.

I didn't get into this to build hotels, and mine asteroids. I feel like as a species we should continue to explore, and push the boundaries.

I just can't get behind private industry on the moon. This is a bad move for humanity overall.
