Message | And doesn't a state-owned agency only restrict it to space officials working for the government whereas multiple companies offer more opportunity? |

Message | Let other countries pay ridiculous sums to discover that one planet is indeed unihabited. WE need to spend our money on education and infrastructure, peace and in tax cuts. |

Message | We are not deceiding on what sums are to be spent, but on the matter of what. To make the rich richer or for the good of the entire population |

Message | This makes the rich richer how? There is no technology yet to mine asteroids or anything and recreational trips to space are still far away. This is private exploration funded by private companies who wish to expand human knowledge. And there are plenty of individuals who will do that despite your prejudices. |

Message | And you misinterpret private companies as corporations which is a complete fallacy that private = corporate. |
Date | 21:15:26, June 11, 2005 CET | From | Zuman Independence Party | To | Debating the no corporations in space |
Message | Do you actually belive that any <b>private</b> corporations would spend money without expecting a profit. "Private companies that wishes to expand human knowledge"; what a bad joke. |
Date | 21:30:46, June 11, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Valruzia | To | Debating the no corporations in space |
Message | Private companies have developed cures to diseases. Privately run colleges have produced innumerable works of history, science, or any other topic you'd like to discuss. Throw away your blinding superstitions and prejudices and ask yourself what they're exactly stealing from you? And what exactly would any private company in space have to gain besides knowledge? |
Date | 22:15:00, June 11, 2005 CET | From | Zuman Independence Party | To | Debating the no corporations in space |
Message | Private companies have developed cures to diseases, for the sake of profit not humanity. "And what exactly would any private company in space have to gain besides knowledge?", if so we don't have a working space program. Private companies are hierarchies they steal the power from their employees and give it to some clown. |
