If
we build it, will they come?
By Eric R. Hedman, Monday,
February 4, 2008 - There are things that,
once built, will draw people and create a large market,
whether or not that was the intent. The Internet is a
prime example. When first created at DARPA, I dont
believe anyone involved fully understood where it would
lead to by now. If they say they did, I wont believe
them (with the exception of Al Gore).
- Space
launch evolution and revolution
By Eric R. Hedman, Monday, December
10, 2007 - If the next administration or
two and the next several Congresses agree to continue developing
the Constellation program as currently envisioned, the cost
of lifting a person and cargo into orbit will not drop radically.
A Falcon 9 launch from SpaceX is listed on their web site
at a range of $3555 million. This does not include
the cost of using a Dragon capsule. This still leaves probably
a minimum fare of at least $15 million per passenger when
the cost of the capsule is included. The number of people
willing to pay this price may not be enough to support a
viable tourist industry.
