Re: Privatization of Human Spaceflight
the private sector will rise to the challenge, providing they get the lucrative govvie contracts to subsidize their entrepreneurial fantasies.
thre same thing happened with comsats and earth resources satellites, (and nuclear power)the private sector pays the operating costs and collects the profits, but it was public expenditure that developed the technology.
the private sector should stick to what they do best, space tourism and orbital mortuary services.
