If they let the tech out we’d be colonizing the stars by now. They seem to be looking at from scarcity mindset vs ridiculous amount of stuff is out on space to exploit and develop. The idea is interesting is from philosopher nick Bostrom titled “Astronomocal Waste” Basic idea is delay in space development means waste if billions or even trillions of human lives in the future. Over a long enough time frame such as thousands or millions of years.

So a delay of let’s say 10 years could literally wipe out millions of “potential future lives”

Interesting to think about.
