Just because your idea is far in the future doesn't mean you should give up on the idea. Near future ideas like colonizing Mars find their constituency so why not far future ideas? Don't believe it? Consider the existence of the Mars Society and the Mars Underground and books on the Greening of Mars.
The way to do deep space projects might be as follows: Draft a business plan. Gather together the creators of ideas…

With a New Economy on the way, I suppose we should be hopeful. I don't expect good things in space under President McCain though because he is Old Economy.

1. First, get aerospaceline operational expecting stiff and withering competition from the likes of Virgin Galactic and others earlier into the tourist to orbit market.
2. Second, diversify using as business models the world's three most consistently profitable and stable airlines. (I decline to state my opinion, at this point, as to which three I think are both consistently profitable and stable but you can probably figure them out.)
3. Third, shift over to other human space passenger businesses besides tourism. I am probably the only person on Earth who has thought this through because I do a heck of a lot of listening and research. As you probably know, tourism is seen as the driver of getting the masses (as opposed to just the elite) of people into space.
This is my business. I have little or no interest in getting machines and inaminate payloads into space because as Truax or Hudson would say any big dumb booster will do that.
Bet on a winner. Send some seed fund investors my way. We are at the bottom of the market. Never a better time!
thanks for warm invitation. I'm trying not only to bloom in place where is no space industry but to raise (at least help to) such industry in Poland.
If you find time check out my website for some details of my activities.

I am in Singapore with GeoEye (www.geoeye.com). We ahve been providing our solutions here since 2001. GeoEye is the premier provider of satellite and aerial imagery, geospatial information (information referenced to a specific location), geospatial products, and solutions for the national security community, strategic partners, and commercial customers helping them better map, measure and monitor the world.
GeoEye's world is one seen through our Earth imaging satellites—IKONOS and OrbView-2, two mapping aircraft, and a global network of regional partners and satellite receiving ground stations. GeoEye's geospatial information supports key industries, including national intelligence, defense and security, air and marine transportation, oil and gas, environmental monitoring, on-line mapping, insurance and risk management, urban planning and emergency preparedness.
We are headquartered in Dulles, Virginia. GeoEye is publicly traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the symbol GEOY. Our value-added geospatial imagery processing and production capabilities are unmatched in the industry with facilities in Thornton, Colorado; St. Louis, Missouri; Norman, Oklahoma; and Mission, Kansas.

Bill Gunn here. I know it's been a while, but I'm ready to get back in the game. I'd be happy to do my part in whatever capacity you deem fit. Just make sure my title...LOL is "Conceptual Consultant".
I'm planning to re-incorporate Spaceways, Inc. by the beginning of 2009, and make a small dent in the space tourism market.
Take care for now.

Last Thursday you emailed me via my website to inquire about my fee structure, and I replied to your bowman_jg@yahoo.com. In case that didn't get through, I replied that my fee structure depends on the work I would do for you and I requested details on what you need.
I look forward to hearing from you.
