Recent unscripted video from Cody Reeder of Cody'sLab.

I don't agree with several of his points, but he raises some interesting issues nonetheless.

Any thoughts on the optimal ways to balance human space exploration with planetary protection?

Nah, I feel we should let all the billionaires go to Mars. BAI!

I would encourage the use of a stronger term than “let”. The sooner that they can be forced to bootstrap themselves up there en mass, the better. And if their crappy tech fails in them just outside of warranty (space suit warranty limited to Earth orbit, do not expose to harsh conditions/full vacuum/human urine/martian dust. Glass cover not included), well too bad.
