But I don't get your point. This is not "Destination Moon"

We already have a proven space technology, most of it in the public domain, we've had it for decades, while the private sector spends money trying to duplicate what we already know how to do in order to fly the same missions for...government customers. There is no money to be made in space except government contracts. No products, services, raw materials, nothing.

The reason the government got out of space is because taxpayers got tired of picking up the tab for scientists' hobbies and military boondoggles---and for private companies who got rich by taking over the few technolgies that did have a payoff, like comsats, earth resources and navsats. Apollo, Hubble, Mariner, Voyager, Pioneer, Cassini, were triumphs of the human spirit, but nobody made a nickel off them.

The question isn't whether private enterprise can do the job. Every American, European and Japanese system was developed by private contractors funded by their governments. We know they can do it. The question is, why should they? What's in it for them? In fact, I'm amazed they've been able to even do what they accomplished on their own up to now. Have any of their investors gotten their money back yet?

From the Wikipedia article for the film "Destination Moon", (1950)...

When their latest rocket test fails and government funding collapses, rocket scientist Dr. Charles Cargraves (Warner Anderson) and space enthusiast General Thayer (Tom Powers) enlist the aid of aircraft magnate Jim Barnes (John Archer). With the necessary millions raised privately from a group of patriotic U. S. industrialists, Cargraves, Warner, and Barnes build an advanced single-stage-to-orbit atomic powered spaceship, named Luna, at their desert manufacturing and launch facility; the project is soon threatened by a ginned-up public uproar over "radiation safety." The three idealists circumvent legal efforts to stop their expedition by simply launching the world's first Moon mission well ahead of schedule,...

Note the usual libertarian, entrepreneurial themes here, even the Evil Green Party makes an appearance, right on schedule. We would have gone into space by now if it just wasn't for the nasty ole gummint...
Cargraves, Thayer and Barnes...WASPS IN SPACE.

This fantasy has been playing on an endless loop for the last 64 years. But that don't mean it's history.
