If your price is 1/20th of NASA?Sorry, but I serious doubt many companies will entrust their horrifically expensive satellites to a private company that has only shown it can get 25% of its rockets into space. They are going to have to do a lot more testing and build up a serious success record.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

But this makes it seem that the future of the solar system shall will be megacorporations fighting for resources
In any event, the company is a start-up. It has only 550 employees and will probably top out under 1,000 employees for the near-term goals. Compared to the other players in space, this is very small.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat.

Actually I discovered that an old university friend of mine is working for this company making the private rockets...I hope his rockets are doing better than the house we all used to live in is
Nice to see that he didn't manage to f**k this one up and lose Scotty's ashes this time
In any event, I'm sure he's happy to get a job in the space business. The industry in general is dying, but there are some small companies like SpaceX that are doing new things and hiring.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Private orbital space flight.... nice
But this makes it seem that the future of the solar system shall will be megacorporations fighting for resources not the benevolent United Federation of Planets as seen in Star Trek.

Fighting over space with lawyers > fighting over space with missles
Allowing missles and wars which they seem to consider more fun may encourage nations to actually start colonizing space.

It seems clear that the USAians are slowly evolving into the Ferengi as evidence by Barack Obama.
And that China is becoming the UFP or at least the Terran Empire.
