The sad part is the dream of humanity on Mars can get very much derailed by SpaceX inadvertently getting caught up in political battles, just like Tesla sales and stocks took a nose dive as a result. Maybe it's good that Blue Origin is becoming a more viable competitor and hopefully its leadership has the sense to not get that deep into political drama, outside just getting contracts through normal processes.

They go right into space unions vs nation state space agencies, pretty interesting actually. But it would be a nightmare for anyone but musk himself, who wants to go be a space slave for no benefits? There could never be freedom or individualistic incentives, its <1% chance to be like Firefly and >99% chance to be The Expanse
- h0l0cube 2y agoI’ve been listening the latest series of the Revolutions podcast by history nerd Mike Duncan, where he’s switched to sci-fi mode to do the Martian Revolution. Kind of interesting to listen to, though I wish now that instead he’d turned his attention to AI. There’s huge potential for revolution when our whole economy is upended and humanity is facing an existential terminus.
