We&#x27;ve reached some amazing heights since then - the flyby of Pluto, intercepting 67P&#x2F;C-G - but I have to agree.  It might not be the biggest step up -  but it sure seems like the biggest step <i>forwards</i>.<p>Government space missions are limited by taxpayer interest&#x2F;funding, and the high cost of access to space has mostly limited commercial interest to things like communication and surveying satellites.  I&#x27;m really looking forward to what new opportunities open up in both spaces when we can do so much more for the same cost.
