No, you’re wrong. Every little bit of friction counts. Funding, regulation and public support all contribute to the end result. It’s already super hard, the only way any progress has been made is because we rolled one in a trillion with an super genius who is immune to stress and is interested in space. The amount of stress, the relentless pressure of doing all this and doing it in the public eye and suffering the cosmic level of irony of being publicly maligned for it… it would crumple you. It would crumple ten of you.
If it were at all easy or probable then there would be other players in the space. There aren’t. If you contribute to the friction that opposes spacexs forward progress then you bear the responsibility for working against the things that you claim to love as a self proclaimed nerd.
There were people who put on demonstrations against wealthy people spending their money on being patrons for scientists and early biologists. It was very unpopular for rich people to sponsor nonsense, the collection of random fluids and samples. All of which is the basis for modern biology and medicine. So which side of history are you going to be on? The idiotic mob or the people making things better?
