And how did they do that? By wasting earthly resources and real human lives on pointless rocket launches.

The disgusting part isn't that they are going to space. The disgusting part is that ONLY they get to go to space. They are pushing the worst conditions here on earth (forcing shit hours and trash work conditions) so that they can go fly in a rocket.

It's pathetic.

Noone bats a eye when those same companies perform test launches that are just as expensive.

I mean I get it that it seems extravagant, but if you just think about it as another test launch that they risked their lives to ride along with, it’s less troubling.
