Hi Mike:
I some times I think that the very rich tend to focus on ways to live longer with more vision than on how to get the most for their money,
I have no documentation for it now but I thought all the egg heads agreed that the doorway to the outer planets would be from our Moon. Consider the number of trips required to make even the most basic shack on Mars that would stand on its own and provide comfort for a few stalwarts. So far I think we have had more failures (as have the Russians) going to Mars than succeses.
Any way, it sounds good. Is there some way real people can benefit from the billions they will waste? The story includes:
"The prize is a market worth $billions. Americas two big rocket makers Lockheed Martin, and Boeing have been priced out by Russia, France, Ukraine and now China."
Why is that? We are no longer competitive?
What a shame!
