Space: A sudden light
The real problem with the space economy is that there are really very few business plans:<p>- Space Tourism<p>- Imagery Acquisition<p>- Communications<p>- Science<p>- Astroid Mining (pending)<p>... And it turns out that none so far have been good businesses, and the small sat form factor is really limited.  I really really love space stuff, but I don&#x27;t see any of these creating explosive growth in the short term. Eventually the costs will come down, but it will probably take a long time.<p>*EDIT (as pointed out by pjungwir):<p>- Zero G manufacturing
