I can say without any hyperbole that doing this would be so catastrophic for US spaceflight that it would hand control of the solar system over to China. It’s literally SpaceX vs China right now, and other countries are looking at who is providing leadership in space. https://t.co/18uM7Mbz3C
I’m glad to see progress on this front (it could be a huge boon for space settlement), but I’m not sure that having the imprimatur of the FDA adds much to it.
