Default Re: Privatization of Space

First impressions: Rick seems a "tad" upset with NASA, and aerospace contractors. When you need support from a group, it's probably not a good idea to characterize them as dinosaurs.

My major problem with the idea is this...

Quote:
The privately funded new space firms will push into space if the money
continues to flow and it doesn't turn out to be a billionaire's fad.
In a "nutshell", it's going to take LOTS
of money to make this "work", and that's why I can't get too excited about it. I just don't see this in the near (or even far) future as being anything other than a "rich man's" game.

...and that's my opinion...I hope I'm wrong...
