Re: I didn't see anything new
It seems to me that the problem is not that Joe Average Citizen is not interested in the possibilities of space exploration, so much as they are unwitting to pay the enormous amounts that would be required with existing technology.
The solution is to invest the capital that is available in finding low cost ways of getting into space. When that is achieved private corporations will be stepping on each other in a mad rush to get into space where substantial ROI will be possible.
The cost of launch is currently a major stumbling block, but I believe if, no ... When, that is overcome, there will be an explosion of pent up desires to go out there, both for business purposes and for pure exploration.
