"Yeah, I know you're right. The moonbats would come out in force, the markets would crash, nothing would be done except a lot of people going to bed scared each night and waking with a sense of doom."
My experience is that the Moonbats are never concerned with any real threat.
So, you wouldn't need to worry about them.
There would be a lot scams involving fake projects to built spacecraft. And wages would probably spike up. And gold prices would drop. And more people would like to imagine that a government agency called NASA was competent.
My advise, buy Virgin stocks.
