Gore Pushes for Private Investment in Space

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sponsored-by-pepsi dept.

dptalia writes "Al Gore said in a recent speech that more private enterprises need to invest in space. Gore pointed to the successful growth of the internet as proof that private investment is faster than government. Not surprisingly, Gore also lambasted President Bush's space policy."

    I'd love to see more invested in our space program - perferably by a Global Allied Space Association. I guess GASA doesn't have the same ring....

    But then again, at this point in time, we can't even solve our problems on earth... and running from earth is pretty expensive last time I checked. It makes me wonder... if all the cash that the current administration has invested in the war was put towards space, where we would be right now? Its very cool that we are getting all this info about Mars, but in reality, what else are we going to do? There isn't any sort of hope that we will be able to develop any sort of fast transport in space, so unless that happens, it will remain 'unmanned missions with cameras'.
