Are, nine times out of ten, people who get very rich doing something nobody thought you could get rich doing. Or something so completely new it comes in from left field.
The guys who make money (not just in space) are the ones who look at a nail and pick up something entirely unlike a hammer. Who not only think outside boxes, but build new ones.
I think a couple of these outfits can make a go of it. I'm encouraged by the asteroid company, which is probably the biggest line to an actual resource tap that I've seen yet.
Here's a question I'm thinking of for the future:
When the shit hits the fan (and it will) will these private guys have the right stuff to keep on trying? SpaceX has lost some vehicles, but no lives.
NASA came back from fearsome and fatal setbacks. The entrepeneurs will have to do this someday, too.
