Images 17: Septomis Prime!

[robkelk]

Okay, look, I know you're upset about wealth inequality and all, and I agree that being on the bottom of the pyramid sucks, but tell me, if you were the one who'd had the good luck to start off with money and put in the work to turn it into a fortune, would you not want to spend some on space travel? I mean, seriously, it's the one thing that would really make dealing with that many people and that much paperwork worth it in my opinion.

If I was in that position, I'd make sure I was spending my own money, not taxpayer-funded aid money. And I'd also make sure my lowest-paid employee could afford to take the day off work to come see the launch, if he or she chose to. But that's me.
