"Most of our biggest Mars advocates currently are wealthy white men who own aerospace companies. In other words, they aren’t just interested in exploring Mars for its own sake — or creating human habitats for the good of all people."
How is this not considered hate speech? Is it just commonly accepted now that all rich white men are evil?
The article made some interesting arguments and I don't want to start a argument, but when I think of Musk, Branson and Bezos, I believe they are all persuing space for the betterment of mankind not self enrichment or empowerment. They already have vast wealth and power and there are far more profitable or evil ventures available for them to exploit if they really wanted to.
