A market! A cargo! The US Airmail.

So....what is the market/cargo for space?


That is, of course, the heart of the problem. Where there is a market
- comsats of various kinds - there is substantial investment and
interest; where there isn't one, or where at the very least no one has
thought of one, there's no investment and no interest (in the financial
world).

And there has been about a billion dollars of investment in private
space vehicles recently.
