The future is finally here, and not a moment too soon. I can't wait to be able to fly in my own spaceship.

Now that's what I'm talking about...private industry challeging private industry, with a payoff at the end. It's all about profits and return on investment. There are big government contracts looming in the future for whoever comes out on top of this King-of-the-Hill contest. None of us alive today will see the current efforts come to fruition, but you can be assured that if there's money to be made in it, man will eventually be on the moon to stay. May the best company win!

Well I guess this is just history repeating itself.
First go the explorers, then the pioneers(this is the era into which we are now entering in near earth space), next will be the settlers which will only be there if there are profits to be made and a livelyhood to be earned. It takes capital to establish a presence anywhere and thats where buisiness must step in to supply this much needed money. Money equilibrates to time, talent and the hard work to be expended before a permanent presence can be established in space.But remember with the science, adventure, and exploration comes the dark side of money. Greed,envy,lust,cheating and violence and more are all products of the lust for riches. This part of human nature is some of the baggage we will carry with us. But go we must. It seems to be innate in the human condition to explore the unknown in search of fame and fortunes and do it the the name of some glorious cause.

Steve: Yes, you're absolutely right. Why do you make it sound like a bad thing?

Do note however that "Greed,envy,lust,cheating and violence" are NOT limited only to the desire for (or lack of) wealth...

So far it seems like a lot of touch-and-go like small planes practicing their landings.

Where's the colonies? What about (underground) terraforming?

So far it seems like an anti-missile engineering project in accuracy.

Could they send up a miner, and a self-replicating factory to make mining practical (of what? the hyper destructive moon dust?)
