to journalists unless they want to. You have to
wonder even down the road, perhaps these
companies won’t even be compelled to say
who’s flying on board. It’s private information.
Not necessarily having to be divulged.
Who wasn’t excited about Captain Kirk going
into the into space at the age of 90, for goodness
sakes? Just today, we had a Japanese billionaire
who took his own personal assistant with him.
They just rocketed into and docked at the space
station, just a few minutes ago. I think that the
boundaries of who goes up from where are
going to start to blur. ... And the goal, of course,
is to go beyond low Earth orbit get to the moon,
to space. Elon Musk is not going to be happy
until he’s got people on Mars. So, no, we’re not
at the Jetsons. We may never be at the Jetsons
where we all have our little spaceships and go
from home to work like so many of the movies
portray. But, man, I mean, who would have
thought of this just 10 years after the end of
the shuttle program? I drove into the Kennedy
Space Center this morning, and one of the old
bar and grills — sort of a greasy spoon kind of
place for decades — was called Shuttles, right?
They just changed hands. And the big sign up
in Shuttles is now “Galaxy,” So that’s now where
we’re headed.
