Technology

I was a huge spaceflight fan, but I admit my interest has waned in the last 5 years or so. The titans of spaceflight are largely...not good people. Its hard to cheer for the success of their organizations when their leaders are so destructive for society in their other pursuits. There are exceptions to this, like RocketLab's Peter Beck. Half credit positive for ULA's Tory Burno for being an areospace nerd as well as CEO, but half negative credit for his company's efforts to use its entrenched interests to block other rocket companies from growing just to preserve the ULA market. Richard Branson gets some positive as well and an "A for effort", but Virgin Orbit folded entirely, and Virgin Galactic is circling the drain.
