How long before new houses are built with 70" screens in every room, and on every out facing wall, displaying advertising 24/7 that we can't turn off without paying a monthly fee?
California just legalized electronic licence plates and I figure it's just a matter of time before those start displaying advertising.

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.
And what's even worse is that there are no real plans for the future because even if you deny global warming you can't deny that the world is getting more and more polluted from plastics to all sorts of toxic things. I mean just imagine if there was some sane plan for the future to live on a pollution and hunger free world with, perhaps, nuclear fusion power plant as its final goal.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

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.

I guess what I'm trying to say if you are going to spend billions of dollars on rockets and developing how they will go into space, like Bezos and his methane rocket, then why simply not pay the Taxes or give that money to Nasa?
But then again maybe government doesn't want that money because like Junkies they can't control themselves and will spend all that money on army
