I am more curious as to why? Why the big push to get beyond the Earth's atmosphers? Space explortation is a big issue/push by the countries that can afford it. Is there something going to happen to cause some ppl (those that can afford it) to have a need to leave Earth for awhile? And, IF something is going to happen, what? When? Why???
There's an aweful lot of the U.S. taxpayers money going up in smoke so to speak, just on space travels. And even still while the US is in this recession (depression), there is space exploration (or should we start to call it, exploitation)...
What's up???

That sounds like so much fun! "velcro suits so you can stick to the walls" LOL. Its only the beginning really. Most things start at being expensive and exclusive, but in time prices change.
