As much as I don't like seeing corporate interests control so much of what goes on in America, I am beginning to think it might not be a bad thing for them to get involved in space flight technology and research. Do you think that if the private sector took over space efforts, there would be less chance of our government using space for military purposes? I tend to think that way, but who really knows what would happen. I do know that I support exploration and space travel, and that too many tax dollars are going into a space program that no longer does much exploring. I don't want to hear about more shuttle launches, I want to hear about people getting back to the moon or getting to Mars. Maybe the interested individuals with money are the ones who can get us there.

Most of the current space program has been privatized to the point where it can no longer innovate.
I'm of the mind that if pure commercial operations could produce results then the public funded program could get back to it's core mission.

Military use?
I'm afraid, nothing's going to stop that or even cut it back - we tend to forget that those neat GPS so many of us love (and commerce depends on) are in fact military devices designed for the purpose of making killing more efficient.
