Space is a big waste of money. At best it's a zero sum game playing field between countries. Regular people will never benefit from space.

Commentators and pundits were fooled by GPS , Sat-TV and Internet and are extrapolating loads of quality of life which would come from space if only could be cheaper to send stuff up there.

The world is increasingly urbanised. Fiber and 5G for telecomms will always be cheaper in an urban setting compared with sat-internet.

Are you saying people won't want to travel and won't need internet outside of cities?

Space is already paying for itself.
