I wonder why humans who wish to have space travel do not pool the money
and expertise into a totally private enterprise. Various countries near
the planet's equator would probably welcome a fresh source of income in
exchange for total privacy and control over some forsaken part of the
country. In short, the need for a Jon Wilde and a Space Movement.
Any takers?
