True, if you have the most Forum Spats then you're going to culminate the most insults back so I cant complain about that part... What I was more talking about the specific personal nature of the attacks themselves from the old "Terrace Reformation Movement" (Before it nosedived spectacularly and failed) which make the things said on here these days seem very tame.

xXJawsaXx Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 UOTYH: With the news that SpaceX is wanting to colonise Mars, it got me thinking: It will be private companies that lead the way in space travel, not government institutions like NASA. Of course, whether or not SpaceX's idea will succeed is a whole other issue, but the lure of raw materials (some of which are rare on Earth) to be mined leads me to believe that it's only a matter of time before large companies start to seriously look into it.

As an older member of the forum I recall the old Omni magazines pushing the line about private enterprise pushing the boundaries in space back in the 70s and 80s. And any investment in space technology by a private company was immediately a major article. Sadly I don't think that there will be any colonies when I shuffle off my mortal coil. Private enterprise needs capital that provides returns in the foreseeable future - sadly there are still too many unknowns in the technology development (let alone biological survival) of space colonies. In any case the hard yards have been done with public funding. I still expect that a lot of the technology developed by nasa, eaa, jaa and universities will be commercialised by the private sector.

Oh of course, I guess that it is pretty impossible to gauge which technologies will take off (no pun intended), and which ones won't. In the 60's people were hopeful about colonisation in the following decades, but nothing materialised (There were a few reasons beyond the technological limitations of course). I do think that most research will be done by government agencies like NASA and the ESA, but that research will be co-opted by people wanting to make money. Pretty unrelated, but if it is government agencies that do end up leading the charge, it must be a joint effort. If, for example, it was a solo effort by NASA, the colony could be seen as an 'American' colony, and not something that benefits humanity as a whole. 1 hour ago, Tesla said: Think it was NASA that encouraged the private sector to start looking into this area as they stopped building spaceships themselves and instead started contracting the private sector NASA gives SpaceX contracts in order to build new spacecraft, yes. They also lease them launch pads etc. Right now, close co-operation between government agencies and companies is important, as research can be shared and such.
