    So many things wrong with your post.

    SpaceX is one company driven by a guy with a dream. He got the money to pursue that dream by being one of the first in an expanding new industry.

    Really? Are you this ignorant? Let me tell you about generational wealth, colonialism, and gem mines in South Africa.

    That won't happen again if we move to a steady-state sustainable civilisation. Look at what happened to Thomas Jerome Newton and D.D. Harriman for an idea at what is going to happen to any future visionaries looking to travel to space in a "sustainable" crab-bucket future.

    Who? And you are appealing to a science fiction past to make some point about a libertarian dystopican future? The "crab-bucket" cinches it. Yes, the crabs pull down any crab trying to elevate themselves over the other crabs, but you miss a crucial thing: Then they rip them apart and eat them. Eat the rich! And the libertarians, despite the smell and gag-reflex. Desperate futures call for desperate measures.
