Too easy to hide a remote kill switch and start blackmailing people. The more we have to depend on others for basic things, the more opportunities for evil and evil people to sneak in. That's why I think private space travel or even colonies is a pipe dream because of human nature is way too fallen and volatile and there are way too many things that can go wrong (you won't cooperate, then no more oxygen for you).

That's what I was thinking too.
