What?
replyWhy?
Are suddenly aliens on the moon or mars and now because its cheaper to send stuff there, its now suddenly economically worthwhile to do so?
The course of human life, now much closer to Mars colonization, thanks to reusable launch being so much cheaper than expendable.
replyMars colonization doesn't make sense though. You can't colonize a planet which is not self sufficient and depends on planet earth.
replyIf you do'nt 'fix' earth why fixing up mars?

replyI think you are not smart enough to articulate it yourself and instead of even trying to answer it properly, you are deflecting.
replyDo i like rockets? yes. Do i think Space is interesting? yes.
But suddenly we want to go to space because of what? It got cheaper? So whats the economic value which will pay for this?
This sounds a lot like the 'we want a faster horse' quote attributed to Henry Ford. Yes, if space access gets significantly cheaper people will suddenly want to access space just like people did suddenly want to take aeroplanes to distant sunny destinations for a mere few weeks once that became somewhat affordable while before that going to those places was something you read about in adventure novels or National Geographic Magazine. Space hotels will become a thing for those who can afford it, maybe those 'giant wheels in the sky' will be built as well because someone like Musk thought 'why not?'.
replyRadiation, missing gravity and risk.
replyBut sure i will take the space tourism.
If you want the Vulcans to take notice, you gotta get to warp speed. Building the transporter of the parts/pieces of that kind of ship is just the first step.
replyI do like this take though
