This space for rent: NASA considers ads on spacecraft - good or bad?

[Angrboda]

Instead of taxing the rich and having a good space program, government created this ultra rich people who are so rich that they are basically their own governments with their own stupid space programs like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson. As if going to space and developing new technologies is a luxury and not benefit for us all.

So that's why now we are all compelled and, even worse, depend to pay close attention on what idiotic idea that Elon Musk will have next, like that stupid hyperloop that only works in the narcissist world of CG.

There's some truth in what you say, that perhaps private space enterprises are not as efficient and beneficial to society as a whole. Yet on the other hand, it has traditionally been government's role to encourage scientific advancement through partial sponsorship of scientific endeavors, rather than trying to be wholly responsible for all science that occurs. This may be getting off the subject anyway, as it's not clear that the commercialization of NASA programs would compromise the decision making process about what goals to pursue and at what priority.
