Monetizing Space

Here is another report about Elon the Great and his plan to monetize the asteroid belt:

Having failed to use earth's resources to benefit the majority of its inhabitants, we're now poised to allow a few people to own VAST resources in the asteroid belt and on the moon and other planets. This is the Doctrine of Discovery on steroids, and it puts to shame the similar efforts of the conquistadors and pirates of old.

Should we permit this to happen, it will enable the ultra rich to escape our dying planet and leave We the People to rot in the waste their corporations will leave behind.

Is that the future you want? I certainly don't. These resources should benefit ALL of us, not just a privileged few.
