RE: 60 year anniversary of Sputnik today! - Some reflections from inside the European Space Agency
Yeah it's an interesting thought experiment to look back and wonder how life must have been. I'll have to pick up again the book John F. Kennedy and the Race to the Moon and try to relive the time :)
I'm sure we'll see great breakthroughs from the commercial space sector in the next 15 years that will exceed most people's expectations.
There are already some commercial space flights, but the costs are too high now. Yeah exciting times!
I will keep that book in mind for when I have more time to read!
It is a great book :)
Yeah current commercial space flights for people (not that they are very active) are very costly. But imagine how much a trip for 2 to NY would cost if you were to fly a Boeing 787 and scrap it after landing?! Reusability will help solve this mad problem :)
