    The 'Space Pirates' comment is way less stupid, and way more sinister, than it appears at first glance.
    The real message is not for the general public, it's for his current and potential donors.
    The questions of sovereignty and legality beyond Earth are of great concern to people like Bezos and Musk; it is all too easy to imagine what a 'company town' colony on Mars might look like given the pressures of profit and exploitation if there is not any form of real democratic sovereignty or non-commodifiable commons for the workers there.
    Imagine a world where the very air you breathe is the private property of your employer. The real concern is not about pirates raiding space shipping; it's about the right of capitalists to claim private property and exert power over others by dictating the terms of their access to it - and to enforce those claims with state-sanctioned violence.
    The 'General Milestones' of the National Space Society is the most low-key ****ing dystopian read, if you explore the implications and assumptions. Mostly 7 and 8.

    Space neo-feudalism will be a very boring dystopia.
