Then came Mr. Musk, who at first seemed like the Robert Heinlein (still my favorite fiction author) character Delos D. Harriman brought to life — bringing private enterprise and capitalism to the space program. While Mr. Heinlein's Harriman boasts he will "cheat, lie, steal, beg, bribe — do anything" to keep governments from owning the moon, Mr. Musk seeks space travel to tap into one of the oldest and most corrupt technologies around. I want entrepreneurs to take risks but not with the taxpayers' money. The LA Times figures almost $5 billion of that Musk money came from subsidies of Tesla, SolarCity and SpaceX. I see the future of space travel and commercialization of space in the private sector.
New research seeks to optimize space travel efficiency
"Our goal is to make space travel efficient," Ho said. In a multi-mission campaign, previous missions are leveraged for subsequent missions. "In this research we are designing the vehicles from scratch so that the vehicle design can become part of the campaign design," Ho said. Ho's research also incorporates the concept of propellant depots in space, like strategically located truck stops on a turnpike. Then for the manned spacecraft, we'd use high-thrust rockets because time is of the essence when putting humans in space.

This also means that because the fuel is already at these space stations, the actual manned ship doesn't have to carry as much fuel."Author
