How would you feel if you put $80 per year for 10 years into going to
Mars and after 10 years you found the money was wasted and no one ever went? How would you feel if you thought this might happen? How would you feel if someone organized people around their enthusiasm for space to raise billions of dollars and were building rockets and all the rest, making progress, and then a million scammers cam out of the closet and used the same pitch to steal billions of dollars from people? There is only one way to make this stuff work. Get the government out of the space business and let us own property off world and not tax off world investments for a century. Get the military to let go of all the space asset secrecy to qualified commercial users. And let the market develop interplanetary space without interference. |

Why, because the word 'scammer' was used, which implies someone making the pitch with no hardware to back it up. -- You are What you do When it counts. Why is that Freddie? You still don't make any sense. |
