Space was at the center of America's imagination in the 1960s.
President John F. Kennedy's visionary statement captured the mood
of the day: "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the
other things, not because they are easy, but because they are
hard." The Apollo mission's success in July 1969 made almost
anything seem possible, but the Cold War made space flight the
province of governmental agencies in the United States. When the
Apollo program ended in 1972, space lost its hold on the public
interest, as the great achievements wound down. Entrepreneurs are
beginning to pick up the slack looking for safer, more reliable,
and more cost effective ways of exploring space. Entrepreneurial
activity may make create a renaissance in human spaceflight. The
private sector can energize the quest for space exploration and
shape the race for the final frontier. Space entrepreneurs and
private sector firms are making significant innovations in space
travel. They have plans for future tourism in space and safer
shuttles. Solomon details current US and international laws dealing
with space use, settlement, and exploration, and offers policy
recommendations to facilitate privatization. As private enterprise
takes hold, it threatens to change the space landscape forever.
Individuals are designing spacecraft, start-up companies are
testing prototypes, and reservations are being taken for suborbital
space flights. With for-profit enterprises carving out a new realm,
it is entirely possible that space will one day be a sea of hotels
and/or a repository of resources for big business. It is important
that regulations are in place for this eventuality. These new
developments have great importance, huge implications, and urgency
for everyone.
