The post on this site is the best I have ever seen! Your post is nice and also knowledgeable for the newbie. I like it, thanks, as you submitted here your good experienced knowledge.

Reading this blog shows you how important NASA is to our society. I still can believe that our "President" wants to close it and privatise the entire operation. That will be the downfall of the US Space Program.

What a shame - Best of contiued success

I have been reading a lot on here and have picked up some great ideas. Thanks.

Nasa is doing great job...this is a nice discussion...I also want to go in space to make money

I have joined you guys on Twitter and Facebook!!!

How interesting it would be, being an Internet Marketer working from space with all the online marketing tools available today.

This is a great project that win-win together. NASA is right ...

Nasa is doing great job...this is a nice discussion...

That would be a really cool development. It's crazy how far technology has taken us - that type of thing wouldn't have been even remotely possible ten years ago.

Personally, I'm much more interested in knowing what's beyond our small solar system. I realize that I won't find the answer in my lifetime, nor will my children or grandchildren in theirs, but the idea of one day knowing if the universe has an end will give more light into the truth about life. and and and and

I think that NASA synergistically brainstorming with the greatest minds in business and engineering today can only propel the US forward in the space exploration race

I like NASA very much and like the way they give information to the world in digested form to understand. thanks very much.

Ryan,

Thanks. Nasa is the best for me.

I think it is the smartest thing NASA could ever do in asking for input from the private sector. Government is very good at spending money and making things as complicated as possible. Free business enterprise on the other hand will create things that are more affordable, get them done quicker and more efficiently because they are not encumbered by bureaucratic red tape. I take my hat off to NASA for such a move.

I genuinely liked reading through your post!. Quality material. I might advise you to come up with blogposts even more often. By doing this, having this kind of a worthy website I think you will probably rank higher in the search engines

thanks for all the great info i appreciate it

A commercial satellite provider seems like the most logical and feasible option. However, I think other options should also be explored.

Intense stuff..Just makes you wonder on where we antitipcate to end up in the days to come.

Really interesting. I'm going to take you up on the twitter poll!

This sounds more and more real and less science fiction each passing day. I wonder how those people who bought pieces of the lunar planet will be handled.

Of course he states his personal reasons for his enthusiasm about the X-Racer but it made me wonder what else could NASA do to encourage, foster, sponsor space commerce. What role should NASA play in enabling space commerce? For me, the benefit for NASA would be greater infrastructure that NASA could leverage as it explores beyond LEO!

I agree with NASA.

Very interesting topic. Phoning home from the moon would be quite neat.

"Investment in space". I think it's interesting topic.
This was a very interesting post, thanks for it. I work in a clinic and my main hoppy is astronomy.

Space commerce sounds like a great idea. Make money for the space program and heighten awareness and interest in space exploration.

Nice blog, its great article informative post, thanks for sharing it. Thanks for the information!

Interesting difference between the two polls. Yes, in deed. I know that when Virgin launches I'll save every penny I can do go into orbit.

The emphasis must be on rapid research and development rather than commercial intentions.

Space is still very mysterious and so demand from people to experience some of this is high, I think it'll be a while until we see the 'Jetsons' style world where space is just a part of daily life - but with the way science is advancing it isn't an impossibility.

space commerce .

Great article,that's a 1st time and new for me.I think that is a nice idea if making money in space.NASA must explore more for that.

Interesting difference between the two polls. Private sector development of space is certainly an interesting concept but my choice was establish a colony on the moon. I mean, how cool would that be?

This is my first time to know this. Seriously this is very interesting post. I'm waiting for your next great update.

Regadrs,

I will say, a trip to the moon would be an adrenaline experience 100% however I am not a fan of the cold. Would powdered shrimp cocktail and margaritas be served? I might brave the cold for that.

Impressive article. Thanks for posting

When I was a kid I often wondered if there was ever going to be a way for me to travel into space. I'd daydream all day long of space travel in my kids cowboy boots.

Lets Talk Kids Cowboy boots

Subject matter sounds very good "Making money in space" Definitely all governments around the world is making money in the space directly/indirectly via space tourist and some other programs. But we have to think how does it help the country to push ahead of technologies/profitability ? Though making money sounds
sometimes, eventually it is the fact. Indeed this is a good start for all the governments in the world.

Rajj

There are of options in space for making money and people should try their luck in space business.

Its always been my dream to travel to space -I'm way too old for the program - but please hurry up and commercialise it so I can at least pay for my trip!

Hello.. 1st time I'm hear about making money in space.. seriously it look like interesting.. Thanks for sharing this information.. I'm just waiting for another great post here..

Regards,

Nice article about making money in space.

Well NASA can encourage space commerce by inviting candidates from the general public to take part during the space exploration process. You can conduct a draw in order to select a pool of candidates from the public. And after conducting a slew of tests on these selected candidates you can select the best candidate who can withstand the pressures of space exploration. You can take this lucky person along with the other astronauts in the space flight.

Juts look at Virgin and their 'space travel' product. Their at the forefront and I believe a lot more companies will take their lead and invest in such schemes.

Space is still very mysterious and so demand from people to experience some of this is high, I think it'll be a while until we see the 'Jetsons' style world where space is just a part of daily life - but with the way science is advancing it isn't an impossibility.

Not a big fan of pitch correction on tracks although it is fun to play around with. It does seem to be used very frequently on tracks that really I cant see any benefit from.

Congratulations for this interesting featured picture! A whole new world...!

Is there a possibility to make a visit of NASA within a working day ? I would love to talk with the moon warriors...Do you teach Judo or other kinds of martial arts for the NASA staff ?

I do wonderwhat the bartering ancillary of business can authority in amplitude - obviouly it wil be massive, but it's harder to visualise it back I/we will not see it in our lifetime.

Once it is up and active however, I anticipate it's important to yield ethics and acquaint we accept acquired from Earth, and ensure we affliction for the planet from the start.

I just took the poll. Thanks for reaching out and giving the public some say so in the future of space explorations and technologies.

I do wonderwhat the commercial side of business can hold in space - obviouly it wil be massive, but it's hard to visualise it since I/we won't see it in our lifetime.

Once it is up and running however, I think it's important to take values and lessons we have gained from Earth, and ensure we care for the planet from the start.

I'm sure business demand will sky rocket thanks to all the new ventures in space.

Thank you for such a great article. I really learned a lot from reading this. Your information in this article can help in doing my for my class. Good job! Thanks!

Space is already a commercial product. You will agree with me that satellites business was a large entry in this commercial tube.
X racer is the beginning. It is clear that law regulations will be needed to avoid any abuse and to guarantee users, consumers and so on, similar or the same rights they have on earth.

Sir,

from my childhood space, sky, stars had always fascinated me. Unfortunately my career went with web-engineering. Whenever I read some wonderful articles regarding space and the associated wonders my hidden dreams are popping out.

It's pleasure for me to vote on twitter polls. ( I doubt whether the time is over though ;))

Thanks for the article and the great information.

Hi,
Really nice work! Your article is unique, informative, interesting and is captivating attention of the readers. You have emphasized on a good point.

I think large nationally funded agencies like NASA are the only viable entity funded and equipped enough to even make a dent in the potential of our future in space. I don't see how it can ever be profitable enough for any private company, at least not for several life-times from now. |

Yeah, the world is certainly improving fast - whats the limit of human capabilities - I dont there is any. Landing on the Moon - before - no way - now, easy. Mobile phones, computers - impossible - now, easy :) I just cant imagine what the new decade will bring to us - I am eagerly waiting!

I think nasa makes the best blogs ;)

Interesting polls... the amount of people who want to see colonies established on either mars or the moon were almost equal.

well for me Space exploration will probably end up being paid for by large corporations looking to take control of new resources out there in the void.

Thanks and Regards

I am definitely supporting the commercial space idea, it so fascinating. I cant wait when it really gets going, the space travel for people and exploring of new planets etc. It would be so unbelievable to go for a holiday on the Moon(ok it would be ever so expensive, but the opportunity is great) I enjoy when science makes major breakthroughs(the next huge thing will be the extensive use of solar power I guess) Lets wait and see what happens(and lets watch the discovery science channels :)

A very interesting post, but what I found most interesting are the results to the polls! There's a big difference between the 2, and I thought the 2 main areas of interest would be moon colonisation and studying climate change - but they're not! For anyone hasn't looked yet, use the links in the post to check it out.

There might be a huge market for commercializing space. Maybe NASA can assist companies who are trying to build small aircraft that could temporary reach the weightlessness of space.

Well explained about the topics conveying detailed information, nice blog. offers exciting measures for anybody.

I like the idea, it seems with this whole "2012" phenomenon going on, more and more people are becoming interesting in space. If NASA could monetize this interest, they could really get a huge

NASA really need to look at ways of generating some cash, as the cost of space exploration is massive and can't be supported by taxes alone. Space exploration will probably end up being paid for by large corporations looking to take control of new resources out there in the void.

This is really a very interesting article.I enjoyed reading it.The way the countries are sending satellites in the space in another 10 year the space will become busy

Isn't it so that the pharmaceutical industry wants to get going in manufacturing drugs in zero-g? Maybe that initiative could provide a 'backbone' for getting commercial space underway in low Earth orbit?

I agree with Jo, it will happen within the next 10 years.
I think Virgin Airlines have a passenger rocket planned for 2012.

Think your role should be to help the companies do all they can in exploring space and what's out there... One does have visions of companies claiming naming rights to newly discovered planets, moons, stars, etc, etc... But nevertheless, these are exciting times and I can't help but feel the benefits outweigh the costs with this one as I'm all for discovering new things and increasing our knowledge Steven.

All the very best,

Sam,

Wow, it's too interesting to know the guys come up with this awesome idea. But I'm wondering what would be the great impact of contribution if the space commerce would come into the reality or just throwing a lot of budget for nothing because of curiosity.

But if the guys could present us the great advantages to the present society, then I could possibly support on this idea.

This is a nice post. You are make me knew much infromation. Thanks for sharing. Best regard,
