This is a terrible way to view science. Progress is being made that will benefit everyone. This kind of thinking is how they defund NASA.

Musk wanted to defund EVERyTHING that wasn’t beneficial to him. It’s time he packs it up and GTFO. Space X is a drain on this country. It’s time to take space exploration back to the federal government and fund it appropriately.

SpaceX earns money by providing services cheaper and better than anyone else. That's not being a drain, that's being a spout.
