The privatization and commercialization of space is occurring before our eyes and soon we will see new developments, innovations and exploits as entrepreneurial capitalists bold the unknown. Some are concerned about this and yet if mankind is ever to venture off into space then surely free enterprise will be the way to do it.
Some folks are worried that we are not spending enough money at home on social programs, like free health care and that we should not spend another dime of taxpayers money in space. This of course is linear thought because much of what NASA has discovered has helped us here at home.
Things such as satellites have helped communication and medical researchers around the world to communicate in real time and therefore move faster on medical break throughs and discoveries in medicine or procedures.
Additionally the privatization of space means non-governmental dollars will be funneled into programs and not taxpayers money and therefore who can debate that? We still get all the great new discoveries and transfer technologies along with people behind them who know how to bring them to market much faster.
These truths must be promoted for the betterment of the common good for all mankind thru better public relations programs. And luckily we are seeing a little bit of that in private space flight and there is more to come. Consider this in 2006.
