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.

It's not very reassuring that the last attempt crashed and burned, then NASA had to come in with the save on the landing for this one (the lander's laser landing guidance failed, and NASA jumped in with "don't worry, we brought one too just in case"

Their lasers failed because they forgot to turn them on (physical switch before launch).... Unbelievable.
