Posted this to science so I put it in tech like a dummy.
Anyway wouldn’t be surprised if we are a couple years out from advertisements on the moon.
I broadly agree that commercialization of space is bad. But so many spent rocket stages, decommissioned orbiters, and failed landers have crashed already. The moon is a truly dead world, I’m not going to get teary-eyed because some derelict upper stage carved out a small crater. There’s no inhabitants or ecosystem to harm. Heck, we’ve done it deliberately as a way to examine what’s under the surface. Each impact is an opportunity for astronomers to do spectroscopy and advance our knowledge of subsurface chemistry.
Elon’s immortality right there. That’s all he will amount to and he didn’t even do it himself.
