“Also, seems stupid to just toss trash out into space... especially electronics”
Or a Tesla Roadster.
I haven’t read that the Tesla roadster is actually going to leave the rocket’s payload and become space junk.. have you?
Why the hate? One of the way Musk is funding R and D for his space endeavors is to advertise his product in the process... capitalism at work..what’s the issue? and before you get on your high horse about his government subsidies..it’s only at about 6 percent and he is footing the rest himself. I for one am happy to see somebody interested in a space mission..NASA is a fully government funded entity... so I assume you want them to disappear as well?
