The recent news of billionaires in space has demoralized many people as of late since space has always been such a symbol of freedom and the height of humanity's achievement and ambition. It's no fun to see it taken over by rich people like everything else, but space isn't always a picnic. When No Man's Sky launched in 2016, it was notoriously far below fan expectations for an endless space exploration sim. Since it came out, the game has been slowly improving and deepening. Today, the game has a dedicated fanbase who are proud to fly between systems and galaxies, claiming some endless space for their own, and making some memes to celebrate their freedom along the way.
