Elon Musk just took over 130,000 acres of public land in Louisiana.

After secret deliberations conducted behind the cover of NDAs, Governor Landry just handed SpaceX a beautiful parcel of land, a $27.5 billion tax break, and legal immunity.

Locals say the 30 rockets a day the site will launch will devastate the pristine coast, while the richest man in the world reaps the profits.

30 rockets a day, leaving satellites behind. And he's not the only company that wants to put up a net of satellites. They say that in a few years, only 1 out of 15 visible objects in the night sky will be natural.

Since the beginning of life on earth, creatures have gazed at the night sky out of awe, curiosity, romance, meditation, relaxation, science, and more. It has been a core human experience for trillions of humans since we first evolved.

Now a handful of Sociopathic Oligarchs want to STEAL that core human experience from every other future human who will ever live. Why are we allowing that, and why are we helping them?
