My stance on SpaceX has always been the same as my stance on government restoration ecology projects: it's *incredibly* good that such projects are happening at all, they should keep happening, but preferably minus the mildly enlightened tyrants at the top.

For some reason, these things don't happen without such mildly enlightened tyrants. It is almost as if the universe would lack a natural inclination to change itself for the better.

There are piles of self-driven scientists and engineers who want and would work on a space project if wealth wasn't ridiculously centralized through state violence. Come on now, this is anarchism 101.

And you sound like you're so pickled in status quo bias that you haven't bothered to do the barest research on what's actually been written in the area you casually discard, which certainly doesn't suggest engaging with you further would be a productive use of my time. :)

It is very reassuring that books exist in which scientists freely collaborate to put cities on Mars once they are freed from the yoke of capitalism.
