Actually, exactly the point I was trying to make (you just made it shorter). If
there's an economic or resource-driven reason for doing something, commercial
interests do a great job. But if you want to go somewhere, trying to invent

OK, yeah, I should let it die... sorry, I'll go back to building a moonbase
module or something. :-)

*even when there may be good financial reasons, but they may be investments in
the futures of the stockholders childrens children.
