Unfortunately if you want to launch stuff into space you're kinda in a tough spot at the moment. The only companies that have a significant number of commercial launches available are run by rich assholes happy enough to watch the world burn while claiming stupid crap like "if we had more kids there'd be more firefighters to fight the fires we're accelerating/people to feed into some techno-feudal solution".

    I hear that, I'm just so sick of headlines that are the equivalent of "Canadian government signs ANOTHER years long contract with people who are destroying the planet". Reminds me of F9 where the guy is stuck between 2 rocks and a landmine.
