you know the problem with the 1960’s futurist’s visions of space travel at the turn of the century is that they wrongly took a socialist view that Government would successfully fund space travel. Skip foward 40 years and no trips to Mars but for the first time in a long time we are moving forward in space travel and it is private enterprise that is funding it. Like all good inventions its the endevour of the human spirit free from Government interference and assisted by private enterprise that achieves the most in the long term.
