The US space act is basically a joke, corporations get to own orbiting assets just by launching them into space, no big deal! It's like they're saying "we don't need any regulations" and then collecting royalties from it later on. What's the point of even having a government if corporations can just claim ownership of everything?
I'm not entirely sure I agree with corporations getting to own orbiting assets without any strings attached . On one hand, it's awesome that private companies like Planetary Resources Corp are investing in space tech and creating jobs . But on the other hand, it does seem a bit unfair that they get to reap all the benefits while taxpayers foot the bill for the government's space program . I mean, don't get me wrong, corporate innovation is key, but shouldn't we be making sure that these companies are contributing to the greater good in some way? Maybe there needs to be more oversight and regulation around this loophole to ensure it doesn't become a free ride for big corporations .
I'm not sure about these corporate owned orbiting assets... It just seems like they're gonna be making a pretty penny off our tax dollars . I mean, who needs the government getting a cut when there's money to be made in space? It's all about lining those pockets of the wealthy elite . What's next? They'll be charging us for air we breathe or water we drink . And don't even get me started on the environmental impact... not to mention the security risks . We can't just let corporations run amok in space without some oversight, you know? It's gotta be a level playing field for everyone .
I'm low-key worried about this loophole, fam... Like, what if corporations start owning entire galaxies? It's already crazy how much money is being made off space tech, but think about it - once they own that space real estate, they've got a stranglehold on the whole game. And let's be real, who's gonna hold them accountable? The government can't even keep track of its own space budget . It's like, what happened to 'public interest' and all that jazz? Now it's just "corporate interests" and 'profiting off public assets". That doesn't sit right with me... We need to keep an eye on this one
omg this is insane!! so basically corp can just launch a satellite into space and suddenly owns it? like what's next? owning moonbeams?! it's crazy that we're letting corps get away with this and taxpayers are still footing the bill for gov programs. gotta keep an eye on this one... might be the start of a whole new space age where corps run the show
