But if the billionaires go to space, it won’t be the one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism, and where will Tim Curry go?

Guillotines need gravity to work, which is why the billionaires are so interested in going to spaces

They want to go to space because an asteroid if mined could have more raw materials than are in circulation.
Do you think that’ll be shared among our species or is it more likely they’ll use it as leverage to become something more powerful than kings, presidents or corporations. That is a tremendous amount of economic leverage if you can deliver it.
They have no interest in living in space but 100000000% interest in exploiting it for resources with autonomous miners. The space exploration/tourism is just to get R&D paid for by the big earners but not really wealthy. Not wealthy enough to make a space station anyway.
I don’t believe it’s possible for another 100 years but that’s 2 generations which is nothing if you’re a dynastic wealthy family who thinks you’re charting the course of humanity. If it sounds crazy keep in mind they were the original latch key kids, growing up with au pairs and private jets. Their thought process operates on a different inertia to the point of brain damage due to isolation from the consequences of their actions. One day we’ll view greed as a treatable mental illness in the DSM. They have a hard time relating to normal people and see the working class as meat machines.
