I just started thinking about it. Why is space exploration even that necessary? They're spending so much money on it when we have so much problems in our own planet..
Agree completely!
And yeah, VCs doing VC things has really made it a tough industry to be in lately ๐ญ I miss the early days of new space when we were just a bunch of nerds trying to make the space industry more effective at making the world a better place.
Edit: don't get me wrong, a lot of VCs are great, and have done wonders for the industry. I've had the pleasure of working with a few of them. However, the explosion of a new industry has attracted a bunch who just see a market for a market's sake.
