Re: OT: future of a manned space exploration.
Geo and Loser... I know that is the way things are now, I am just thinking what if a Corp developed something that solved alot of the "cost of leaving orbit". I can see how hard it would be for the world public to let Corp X take total control of Mars or the Moon for that matter, but what if they took baby steps, claimed an asteroid, perhaps one of Jupiter's moons. HOW, could they inforce something that they could not get to? Much of our law is based on presidence, there are no one being conqured, and I could see Corp X laywer defend seizure of assets, he gets up with a wide grin "Na na na na, ownership is 9 tenths of the law, and since we are the only ones that has the tech to get up there, how you going to make us".
I just have a hard time bowing down to goverments that make laws like that, I mean if I wanted to take a rocket and go into space, I have to get clearence from the Air Force, geeze, who are they to say if I can go up or not?
ps sorry about the typos, in a hurry and this come dont have spell checker *sigh*
