Many Moons Ago. Anybody remember?
bjrogg:
I wonder to DC must be thinking long term. Maybe just dreaming. Why did Spain send three ships to sale off the edge of the earth? If it's nothing more than a draw on our resources and nothing but an expense. It probably won't go far. If it could pay its way. It would totally change our universe.

I started typing a response but bjrogg said it better and more concisely than me (lol)

Commercial space flight and freight hauling, maybe even mining. Look what Elon Musk has done with rockets that come back home safely. Save lots of money there. He may have delivered supplies to the space station. They are all looking forward to heading to Mars.
DC:
Mining in space and delivering it back here wouldn't be profitable until we totally run out here. That ain't going to be for sometime yet. The only place to take freight to is the space station so that means the bill ultimately gets back to the government. Tourism may be a possibility but there's probably only a few thousand people that could afford it. Must be something there though. Could you imagine what a hotel room on the moon would go for, even through Trivago. ;) Is the government offering big tax exemptions for space investment, maybe?
DC:
Me not being able to see the opportunities is probably why I'm not rich ;D ;D Took me a while to figure that out.
