"Capitalist Dystopia: Space-X to Launch Space Billboards | Thinking Out Loud"

In this episode of his "Thinking Out Loud" series, Double D discusses the news that Space-X will be partnering with Geometric Energy Corporation to release billboard ads in to orbit.

Double D explains how the fetishism surrounding the "billionaire capitalist space-race" is not what people think it is, he explains that this "space-race" is to develop a space tourism industry centered around orbital cruises, not the beginnings of a grand pioneering future amidst the stars.

He goes on to explain how this sort of industry and orbital infrastructure is only the beginning, with off planet mining and shipping coming close behind. 

Finally, Double D ruminates on how if we keep moving forward with this capitalist version of a space race, we will be looking at a future where corporations have sole private property rights over entire asteroid belts, moons, and some day even planets; comparing the future we're heading towards to the visions of dystopic science-fiction depicted in franchises like Alien and Dead Space.
