Space Industry

[Nitrofox125]

Well... the space industry has been being built up so much before we can even get there! First Scaled Composites, now 15 other companies. Virgin Galactic plans to send people into space and build an orbital hotel by 2030. Now I run into this...

That's not real is it? The moon is international no-man's land still, correct?

[Top Gun]

Yes, the Moon is considered international territory. This site screams, "How to rip off stupid people."

[Nitrofox125]

Yep OMG I wonder how much money they've made.

I wonder if the Moon/Mars will ever be opened to Real Estate... you'd probably start another few wars as countries fight over lands, etc.

Old.

I saw this one years ago. Laughed though.

Very intelligent investing too. 100 million dollars has been invested in a space ship program so it could win a 10 million dollar prize. And the best part of all? It has no practical value, the "Astronauts" train for 3 days, then fly up into suborbital space, and fall back to earth pretty much where they took off from. Now if they actually shot these space ships over to other continents, maybe we'd have an "Ultra-Rapid" transit system to replace the Concords' legacy.

2,000,000+ people own Lunar Land property around the world.

haha, i hope that's lies.

Once you got something like the orbital hotel going, though, I think it would have a little more use. And, yes, high speed transport. But I think the energy spent getting up to orbit and then keeping you from burning up coming down from orbit would be way more than any concord would ever use, so I think Earth-Earth, orbital transport would be pretty useless.
