re: Private hi-rez lunar orbiters
It all comes down to who or whomever is willing to part with their M-O-N-E-Y.
I agree..... Space privatization is the way to go....assuming there are enough people willing
to put their money down.
If you're referring to TRANSORBITAL, and their effort to put a private spacecraft in lunar orbit,
I put my money down on them; putting my money where my mouth is [or fingertips] are.
