I absolutely want to change it.
Cut the military spending budget in half and give the difference to NASA. That'd be great. Let's go to Mars in the name of humanity rather than in the name of Tesla.
As I said, I think what SpaceX is doing is ultimately great. I recognize that, at the end of the day, corporate interests will get more done for space exploration than the government will. I don't have to like that, though, and I definitely don't have to like Musk shilling his other corporate interests while doing it.
You all can look down on me and laugh and think I'm being silly and getting worked up over a small little detail. Maybe that's true. It still bothers me. It's still some rich asshole sending a billboard for his company into space, and that sucks just on principle. It's not cute or fun. At the end of the day, it's his rocket and he can do whatever the hell he wants with it, but I'm not going to celebrate it.
