Open for Business since 1962
Your question makes no sense.
Space has been open for business since July 10, 1962.
And the majority, about 70%, of the $251 billion spent globally on space in 2007 was by private firms for commercial activites. Space is mostly a private commercial activity except for few small areas like planetary exploration and human spaceflight.
