RE: CAN PRIVATE SPACE-FLIGHT COMPANIES TAKE US BACK TO THE MOON?
Great post. But I am a bit suspicious about private companies. They entered the space race but ptofit will always be their firsr priority. Goverments are only able to push further the boundaries of our knowledge and understanding of space. Because those kind of missions are not proffitable but we don't know what awaits up there, if it has some bussines potential then the private companies will swoop in
well, Government are also motivated by profit, but not only profit, they are also motivated by military prowess, most of the time we've had technological leaps have been during wars and arms race. as I stated in the article, during the space race between the USA and the USSR.
It definitely has business potential, SpaceX is leading the race, for now, other private companies are following behind, for example, Blue Origin(another company majorly funded by Besoz) plan to take tourist to the edge of our space, they don't possess the rocket power to leave our orbit yet.
