This in the eye of all the naysayers of the world who look only to this planet and its finite potentials to support the human races ever expanding population. These “baby step” forays into the commercial aspects of space travel are in actuality the real “giant steps” for mankind as they bring about the possibility of an economic incentive for space exploitation and not just military initiatives. Three cheers for Branson and other modern day “Hearts of Oak”.
