The pics keep getting better and better!

I wonder if it is a meteorite? It does have that look to it.

It's probably not a wise decision to encourage the use of censorship to solve problems as it would only create more problems than it is worth. Censorship can hinder individual freedoms and lowers moral of people by giving them a feeling of forced confinement. The one thing that would likely work better is an improvement to the current education system in the United States as it's a massive joke influenced by dogma of people who for the life of them cannot grasp concepts beyond the reaches of their comprehension. Though an improvement on education would mean the house representatives and senators in the U.S. would have to actually serve the public's best interest instead of getting caught up in some sports game mentality of team versus team.

The internet is never going to be a safe space in its entirety. Attempting to create the greater cyber-space into something safe would be like attempting to establish a single code of laws in outer space. The important thing is to ensure there are communities out there that could serve as safe non-judgmental spaces for the denizens of the world wide web. To ensure that everyone is aware of some of the dos and don'ts that comes with online activity and basic knowledge like never handing out your personal information to strangers. Hacking and other cyber threats are another matter entirely that should be challenged by the most qualified individuals. Everything is prone to corruption, but encouraging more censorship is something that would for sure breed corruption. Any theocracy can serve as an example of why this is the case.

Oh dear are you suggesting that branson and musk are greedy twats out to earn yet more, as if they didn't have enough already?

Can't be true...........

If they think they can make a profit........... and don't forget, a lot of this sort of thing is about product placement, and advertising, so it is tax deductable.

Indeed, the value of money becomes meaningless to them. It's only use is as an indicator as to how well they have done in life.

You should watch the docuseries, The Men Who Built America. It brings up that point, not to mention it's pretty interesting.
