I’m all for a balance between public and private space missions. That said, this mission was run by a different company from SpaceX, and I’m not clear how this would be called junk while a government operated mission wouldn’t be junk. The article also mentions this mission is in partnership with NASA.

How terrible. SpaceX drops junk into space and Earth. Are these companies decontaminating their ships?
Good-bye public space exploration.

Yeah I think decontamination is standard. But why is this bad for public space exploration?
