aside from all the practical arguments listed out in other comments, i simply don't support corporations building in space. space should only be multi-national projects, similar to the way the ISS is managed

I can think of a bunch of great reasons to be wary about this, but at the same time it feels inevitable, doesn't it? Biggest reason I don't like it is the fact a big rock lobbed at earth from the moon is one of the lowest cost of entry WMD programs imaginable.

Seems like it's only a matter of time before someone deploys their capital to another space rock, convinces people to go with them, and then declares sovereignty of that rock. What comes with that is all the same stories history tells over and over, just again, on a different rock.
