I'm kind of excited about it honestly, especially with talks of setting up an orbital lunar station like the ISS. Maybe I've played too much KSP and Elite Dangerous, but I think the fact that they're starting to build truck stops in space is cool as fuck. It's going to open up a lot of new possibilities for space travel and infrastructure.
