The greatest threat to crapitalists is the possibility of the elimination of manufactured scarcity.
They know the moment we actually start exploiting resources in space their game is over. They see NASA as a direct threat to their way of life. Instead odf adapting to profit off it, they would rather point their machines towards us like zookeepers keeping us all suffering in this cage they built.
You're giving them too much credit of foresight. I think it's more a function of 'can we profit off of it this quarter? No? This year at least? No? Then fuck it."
They would love to have space hypercapitalism. Getting there is hard and more importantly expensive tho, so they won't really try. Even shit like the Melon's rockets are basically a scam to get the money NASA used to get and results off of it are secondary and incidental to the scam.
