I never thought I'd say this but "I want other companies to succeed at space travel"

To be clear, I don't want any companies in space because they'll simply ruin space the way they ruined earth. You will never convince me there aren't executives salivating at the idea of exploiting ~~slaves~~ employees far away from earth and it's " limiting regulations" so they can do whatever they want including just spacing someone out an airlock if they try to strike.

But so far it's been more or less one company who's been tossing trash all over LEO and larger trash between earth and Mars.

I'd rather space travel be open and easy for everyone, including some random guy who just wants a quick trip around Saturn. Of course we're likely centuries away from that, and I don't think we have centuries left as a whole.

I'm rooting for Stoke and Radian to pull off full launch vehicle reuse.

I really want to see space agencies put out orbital debris cleanup bounties, especially for big things like spent upper stages and dead satellites.
