    It appears to me.. that Space is about to get very full of private companies. Now.. I’m not a cynical man… at least not a lot, early in the morning when I haven’t had time yet to despair over the latest headlines and the coffee hasnt kicked in yet..
    HOWEVER.. I’m looking at PRIVATIZE … and all I’m seeing.. is Privateers.. When The New World was opened up.. and the Incas ruined and massacred for their gold.. and the Western Countries.. instead of sharing this unlimited wealth.. actively screwed each other over with Privateers..
    If we did that for Gold.. Imagine how bad we’re going to be for Platinum.. I mean.. Imagine.. for a moment.. if you will …. A huge Meteorite made out of Platinum…; How crazy would that make people??

      This assumes that the secret space program and connected funding will just continue uninterrupted and above all secretly. Which may not be the case if a “financial reset” of some kind takes place long before 2025.

        Yeeeh…. Secret Space Programs… The only thing that keeps bouncing round my head is United Fruit Company.. The Dulles Brothers.. The use of military force to protect ‘national interests’ that manage to somehow look a lot like someone’s private bank account and monopoly on in a business somewhere.. Space Bananas for exemple… or Asteroids made out of Platinum..

        Good job they got that Death Star laser working..
        We’ll export that Freedom up there into Space…
