http://spacefellowship.com/News/?p=6780So, the SpaceX has made it into Earth orbit. As the first privately funded organisation to put a spaceship into orbit, this is pretty significant. Moreover, they've done this with only 550 employees and at a cost of only $8Million per flight. That's massively impressive compared to the current state of national space programmes.
Does the intervention of private enterprise herald a breakthrough in the technology and speed of growth of mankind's advancement into space and the death of national space programmes, or will it become bogged down by safety issues and profiteering?
Only time will tell, but frankly I'm excited. We need to get off this rock.
