IMO private space travel / transport / exploration etc is the future. It just seems so much cheaper than government funded space programs. It looks like it would work out cheaper for everyone involved.
When we start exploring and colonizing the universe the only way it's going to be started is by private companies like this.
[QUOTE=sami-elite;28999108]$80m-$125m. Holy shit. Being private this means any company with the money for it can put stuff up there. And not just stuff. Tons of stuff.
Privately funded moonbase anyone?[/QUOTE]
Planet Starbucks, Microsoft Galaxy?

Once something starts to drip into private/commercial sectors, more innovation can be raised.
NASA is more focused on satellites, propulsion, and the science behind everything. Not on the profit.

Don't forget there will (eventually) be competition, which is always good.
It is still only a fraction of the power behind the Saturn V rocket. :(
The Falcon Heavy can put 120,000 lbs into low earth orbit.
The Saturn V was able to put 260,000 lbs into low earth orbit.
Granted the Falcon Heavy is much more cost efficient, but it is still a shame to see us trailing behind our former selves in terms of capabilities.

Ever.
it's all privately funded space colonies and asteroid mining without the threat of bureaucratic hell from here on out.

However, what's the cost of 1 Saturn V vs the cost of 2-3 Falcon Heavy?
Saturn V cost 1.11 billion(in inflated currency) to launch the rocket with payload.
Sending up 3 Falcon Heavies? Well, let's use the most expensive number, 125 mil.
That's only 375 mil for 360000 lbs. (or 250 mil for 240000 lbs)
Soooo let's put all of our garbage, nuclear waste, dictators, and extremists onto this and fire it at the sun. Any objections?

Your cum would be moving faster than you, as it is lighter and got affected by the same force. In the end it will negate any movement you created by slamming into the ship, or rather touching the ship slightly, as cumming does not create a massive amount of force.
If it were otherwise, you would be able to sail a sailingboat by blowing a leaf blower into its sails.
And we will never hear of this again.

Not true, getting launch costs down to $1000 is amazing.
[QUOTE=Implosions;29018932]But then to poor proletariat won't be able to go to the moon only the evil capitalist pig-dogs.[/QUOTE]
That will be true for the next 100 or at least, regardless of the fact it's private or public.
