I agree with most of your post, but this jumps out at me as absolutely
false. These are expensive places to get to, so NOT available to "nearly
anyone." And they expose the traveler to COVID, a big deal if you're a
senior citizen or have health vulnerabilities. Traveling to, let alone
building stations in these places is a rich man's game. If you've got
the bucks, you can buy a big score. I'm happy for those who can do so,
and respect the technical chops of the builders, but it is not MY view
of a level playing field.
