Spacewashing

1) The process by which corporations, governments and individuals promote the development of space technologies and programs to mask extractive and exploitative industrial practices, distract attention from social, environmental or economic problems, and/or to gain financial, military or political advantage.

2) Sending our dirty laundry to space.

cf: greenwashing
The race between Elon Musk, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos is at best a dick measuring contest and at worst spacewashing of the first order - it leverages science fictions to hide corporate greed and military interests, whilst simultaneously distracting us from the imminent environmental collapse of the Earth.
