A recent article on Business 2.0 jumped out at me. It's a short profile of Jim Benson, founder of SpaceDev, a company that wants to send tourists into space. (Link to full article here.)
I think there's a lot to all this and it will eventually happen but the reason that it jumped out is the fact that this is virtually the same story that was written by some writer eight years ago. (Link to full article here.)
I have no doubt space tourism will take off. Amazing, though, that in eight years it hasn't really progressed much while in eight years in the 60s the race to the moon was announced by President Kennedy (1961) and accomplished (1969.)
One case where the government actually did something efficiently.
