I feel the same way about spacex. I was all in on "no planet B". Now watching starship, I see it's just a race to be the first asshole to exploit a new market. Between the methane venting in the high atmosphere and 40k starlink satellites that are "just going to burn up" I think they are operating with absolute disregard to 'planet A'. Having a reusable rocket will be for the benefit of shareholders, not humanity.
