*** It wasn't directly the loss of the station, it is noted that the explosion would be visible for most of the galaxy the station was in; a "malfunction" killing a crew can be swept under the rug by a PR team, one of their stations detonating causing an explosion of that size is a lot more likely to harm their PR, which will impact their shareholders.

** Capitalism rewards success if you're an upper middle-class university graduate with an [=MBA=], not a bunch of non-unionized (they state "the union" is a myth) working-class space miners who labor for fixed wages while their employers keep the profit. Also, making them pay for oxygen is a perfectly capitalist thing to do, since it would 'encourage' them to work harder to have enough income to keep breathing. In the United States, as of 2017, there's a similar debate going on about health care reform. And as always, one man's AuthorTract is another man's SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped, et cetera, et cetera.

** They probably ''need'' gas pressure within the station in order to process the ores that they're mining, as many metallurgical processes simply wouldn't function in a vacuum. They just don't use oxygen to achieve that pressure.
