I think we’re long overdue in society
for the role of private enterprise to to
participate in a big way with NASA’s
exploration of space now private
enterprise has always been there the LEM
that landed on the moon I probably have
one of those here we think here too here
we go the LEM this and all the Apollo
missions had one of these the ones that
went to the moon they all had one of
these this is what deployed from the
command module landed on the surface of
the moon and the astronauts were in this
upper part and they got out and then
they got back in and then the upper part
would go back and and rejoin with the
command module leaving this base behind
this was designed built and manufactured
in Grumman aerospace Bethpage Long
Island but it doesn’t say Grumman on the
side because it was taxpayers money that
did it and NASA and the like I imagine a
future such as what was imagined in
Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 a Space Odyssey
where private enterprise is a
participant in this exercise what
happened in that movie there was Pan Am
was an old-fashioned airline Pan
American now out of business but at the
time it was a rocky an airline Pan Am
flew the space shuttle and then there’s
AT&T put in the phone call and this was
a vision of a future where it’s not just
government programs it’s businesses are
making money in space in ways not
fundamentally different from how they
might have made money here on earth and
once you can make money in space you
have investors and entrepreneurs and you
can advance a frontier in ways that
would simply not otherwise happen so
watch this space for the future of
entrepreneurs
