I can sue the corporation. I can start a competing corporation. Elected governments also aren't as free as you'd think. Two parties control 99% of US politics. Suppose I'm not a fan of trade wars; both parties are in favor of

It might backfire. Manned space missions are risky and expensive, and the interesting discoveries seem to be coming from unmanned missions. Are there enough microgravity experiments left to justify the risk and expense of the ISS?
