Private enterprise entering space
« on: August 11, 2007, 08:33:36 AM »
http://www.galacticsuiteprocess.com/news/?p=501

By 2012, this company (based in Barcelona), intends to have a hotel operating in space. Private businesses have clearly reached the point where they can expand above the earths atmosphere. I ask you this--how can the conspiracy be so expansive as to bribe private businesses and the multi-millionares who will use these facilities?

Hmm, and the owner of said company isn't apart of the conspiracy? How do we know this?

The owner, the millionares, the construction workers, the designers... and note, of course, that as a large business, its public, so we should add the board of directors and other corporate essentials.

Um, if they are going to space, would they not use people familiar in the field? Like say, the NASA contractors?

Well, we talk about spaceship one and all of a sudden they're part of the conspiracy. Its best to reveal how huge it has to be in order to work.

We've been promised space vacations since the 1950's. And guess what?

Every single promise either failed or turned out to be a venture capitalist scam.

Well, they've got plans, grants, the materiels--in short, the works. They haven't had that in those past promises.

Right, because we haven't progressed in technology at all in half a century.

And this is an arguement that is totally bogus. We hadn't even gone into space yet. Oh boy, Sputnik. Give me a minute while I compare Sputnik, which would be laughed at by most modern wristwatches, to the ISS. Hmmm... Doesn't seem even does it. And of course it is a capitalist scam. What isn't nowadays? Every company sets out to make a profit. Everybody wants to make a profit. So of course people are going to want to use the public's newfound interest in space against them. People sell what the public wants.

So you are saying that there is no chance that we will ever have people going into space (private companies, not astronauts)? I can have the plans, grants, and materials to bake a cake, and it could be the best cake ever made in the world. Comparing the faring of space by private companies to the baking of a cake does not an arguement make.
