But the fact that any commercial company can decide what to do with natural resources and also do tacky things, like sending a stupid fucking car into space that\u2019s also dangerous for people \u2014 think about the astronauts that are up there in the International Space Station and they don\u2019t really know what\u2019s going to hit them or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan we all just like have a vote on whoever gets to do anything?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once Robyn\u2019s one minute was up, Yang and Rogers urged her to keep going with her take.
