Space travel is becoming a private sector thing in economically advanced countries. It's the second and third tier countries where the govts use space shots to "prove" something now. I'm sure FMU could get a private sector space shot happening for only maybe an entire decade of their total budget |

Hey, Chris- anybody knows why you don't wanna name a domestic animal. Its usually because it makes them hard to eat later. So may I offer the name this monkey might have gotten had he not been gobbled up already- "delicious." Someone in Iran was planning to eat him all along. | |
