Opening The Frontier

TTM

There was a video that I wanted to post, but it played automatically.  So, I took it down.  This post replaces it.

Tyson said that only the government can open the space frontier.

You could argue back and forth on that one.

My opinion is that governments can fail and still exist.  Businesses can't afford to fail without risking their very existence.  As a consequence, the challenges are far greater for businesses.

There needs to be some kind of government program for space, but keep in mind that the government can only do so much.

Flags and footprints is what the government will do.  Colonization will have to come from the private sector.

Once there's a lot of people there making a lot of money, the government will want in on the action.
