I am so happy that there are organizations like the Space Frontier Society. They realize that the true motivator that compels humans to explore is wealth. This may be offensive or sad to some, but I just see it as a fact of life. I am driven to learn about the universe because of my curiosity, but unfortunately most people would rather watch Friends than Mars.

Like I said before, the U.S. government, if it is wise, will invest in technologies that will lower the cost to get into space, lower regulations and other costs for private industry to get into space and provide a central facility to aide industry in establishing itself on the Moon. For those who do not want to see industry in space, or want it to be regulated all I can say is that I understand their view, but humans will never become a successful spacefaring species if it severly regulates their own activities in space.

Eventually it should be our goal to allow any individual to launch herself, or himself into space and capitalize on it if they can. And someday to do the same with other solar systems if we can reach them, but to always understand the fine line between benefitting from capitalism for the good of ourselves and the wrongful step of benefitting from capitalism at the expense of other "intelligent" life forms. Please, lets not get into that however. I am just trying to say that there is no life on the Moon and there are many resources that can be of great benefit to us. H3 could be a revolution to how we generate energy on earth and possible water ice or lunar soil could make it easier for humans to go farther into space. Why not allow private companies to capitalize on these resources so that the tax payer doesn't have to?
