    I'll talk about the Polaris Dawn mission in my astro 101 class today. I just watched the spacewalk video: https://www.space.com/spacex-polaris-dawn-first-private-spacewalk and WOW I cannot believe the range of emotions I went through.

    I love science fiction: seeing Earth from high orbit, even on a tiny youtube video is stunningly breathtaking.

    But SpaceX is awful! And billionaires are awful! And I saw pieces of a Crew Dragon trunk that fell near my house! And I'm an expert on the pollution from launches/reentries! UGH.
