Not to knock your thoughts I can't but think there needs to be a breakthrough in re-entry heat shielding that is reusable before we can think about private flights to the moon. It's not an easy thing to do. Has anyone heard of any new materials that can withstand an entry on a return from the moon that would be at least partially re-usable?
