I suppose I see the commercialization of space much in the way someone back in the 1800s might have viewed the West. It was a great natural space that was eventually conquered, colonized and commercialized. It does open us up to a lot of good things but there will be a lot of negative that will come with it... including (I would suggest) wars.
If someone is going to make a profit in space... someone will inevitably have to defend that source of income. What is true on Earth is true in Space.
Pure science will not last long in the face of commercialization.
