    They’re not. They’ll be fined several thousands of dollars. Bezos will cry as he writes such an enormous check.

      While I agree the industry is under-regulated, spaceflight has been a massive benefit for humanity. Earth would not be able to grow half the food it does now. Global communication and logistics would be significantly more unreliable and expensive. Even down to simple things like cellphones would not work without GPS.

      Spaceflight is not the problem. Unregulated bilionaires and corporations are.
