Default Moon key to space future?

Dick Morris
Yes, I know, the market is the ultimate answer for every problem.


Unfortunately not every problem. Take spam, for instance. Is there any
market solution that could work?

Farming is such a small part of the economy that we should just do away
with it and turn the land over to more economically productive uses.


This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of economics. Economics re change
is always a margin issue. If today the marginal value of land is higher for
housing that DOES NOT mean that tomorrow it won't be the other way around.

Extraordinary markets require extraordinary launch vehicles. You're
putting the cart before the horse.


No, the original was exactly correct. Even for a lone inventor toiling to
make the extraordinary launch vehicle----though he/she FAILS---was still "a
market" for the vehicle and willing to pay the price.
