Just what we need, corporations making more money in space.

There are corporations making big money in space?

If you're talking launch, other than government funded pork launchers like SLS, I don't think anyone is.  Even SpaceX is probably not breaking even without padded government contracts.  Boeing is losing a fortune on commercial crew and none of the smallsat folks other than Rocketlab will be here in a decade

Perhaps a few of the photo constellation companies are profitable, but it's certainly not a big industry.  GEO comsats are still a thing I guess.

In all, the successful test fire is a positive sign for NASA's hopes of colonizing the solar system. It'll also help with commercial space efforts as well as it'll allow crafts to carry more payload and travel more quickly through the cosmos.

What a bunch of hooey.

Colonizing the solar system? Travel more quickly through the cosmos? Someone has been reading too much science fiction.

Good.

Our solar system is a nearly uninhabitable mess in the green zone. Ideally two planets would have checked enough boxes for life but Mars failed early and Venus never farking tried.

Life from Earth has an equal right as any other to expand.

Sadly, we're just not the kind of people who plan ahead.

Next gen space craft will also feature nice cool air condition, nice warm heat, and a featherbed and a pillow in the backseat.
