What would the adminstration you propose to setup >give these companies ? Would it help them get other customers ? As was mentioned earlier and is worth noting again, The Space Quest Foundation would only set up the administration company and then it would either go away, or become some type of information center. But, it will not interfere with the operation of the new corporation. My idea was that the space contractors would have their own launch facilities (if the gov will let them), their own launch vehicles, and their own space station. facilities (if the gov will let them), their own launch vehicles, and their own space station. If another company or organization wanted to put a payload in space, the contractors' company would be competition for NASA, France, and whoever else would be putting payloads into space at that time. If another company wanted to have a module or facilities put on the space station, then they would either lease or buy the space from the contractors. The contractors could supply a large station with a dormitory and general laboratories. The station could be designed in such a way that it could eventually hold 100+ people easily yet only hold 10 once the first stage is complete, and add living space when needed. There are three ways for the contractors to make a great deal of money. I don't remember where I read it, but the next billionares will be make in space! - Daniel ------------------------------ End of SPACE Digest V9 #585 *******************
