I guess I'll be the bummer.

What SpaceX is doing is really exciting, and ultimately very good.

Elon Musk using SpaceX to put a giant Tesla billboard in orbit around Mars in the form of that stupid roadster is a real fucking bummer to me. Sure, let's put some garbage in orbit around Mars, that's a cool thing to do.

Whatever, I know he owns both companies and it makes a neat story for him, but it's ultimately a corporate publicity stunt, and I hate it. Bringing capitalism into space exploration will ultimately probably be a good thing, but I still hate corporations and seeing what was once the realm of exploration and science become publicity stunts for a pretty awful company sucks.
