Default Moon key to space future?

"william mook" wrote in message

I imagine that instead of the world spending $5 trillion deploying
advanced MIRVed nuclear warheads, the world instead spends $500
billion on minimal systems of assured destruction, whilst spending $1
to $2 trillion to bring the dreams of the 40s 50s and 60s to
profitability in the 70s and 80s - under conditions that support
private investment in space based assets and resource development.


Bill, how many failed business plans will you come up with before you figure
out that wishful thinking gets you nowhere fast in real life? Sheesh.
