I am not hyping the stock at all... Nothing in my post was geared towards talking anyone into buying their stock. I was just letting people know that there is another company doing this sort of thing. Actually, I would suggest you NOT buy it, as I am just in it for fun, of course with the hopes of something coming of it someday!

Hi, first of all I'd like to say this is my first post here, I finally started an account today! Would just like to say that there is another company pursuing 'commercial' space exploration/development also. They are called SpaceDev (Space Development). They are actually publicly traded, under the symbol SPDV. I bought stock in them at under 50 cents a couple years ago, and I am planning on holding on to it. I don't put much money in the market, but I thought this particular co. was interesting. They are not as geared towards actualy missions, they are currently providing equipment, satellites, rockets, etc. to NASA and Boeing. Not alot of people have heard of SpaceDev. When they first went public, they also bragged that they would be the first commercial space-mission business, but it hasn't happened yet. I find this all very neat though, wondering if we will see Disney's Magic Kingdom on the Moon soon...!? Pretty cool... I'm all for it, why should the govt. have a monopoly on space exploration? Space is the new frontier (not to sound like a Trekkie), and as far as I know, the government hasn't claimed the moon/sun/planets as part of U.S territory just yet(correct me if I'm wrong), so maybe we will have like a Christopher Columbus for our generation, except sailing to Mars?!
