    I really couldn’t care less. The moon is a very big, very dead rock. Space Exploration > Moon Litter, Earth Litter > Moon Litter

      The moon has been undisturbed for 4 bullion years or so (not counting the eventual natural rock impacts) but yeah, let’s dump more garbage over there because we’re lazy because that worked so well on our own planet

      Private companies have zero give a fuck about anything other than money, so really it could be either! Did they calculate that littering on the moon was acceptable, or were they so fucking incompetent they can’t keep track of their shit? The free market doesn’t know either

    Wait, I’m confused. Space X didn’t know it crashed into the moon but non-Space X people did?

      Private companies have a reeeally hard time distinguishing between their ass and a hole in the ground, so it’s anybody’s guess.

      No private entity should have any access to space at all, and shit like this is only an inkling of why
