I generally agree, but what practical steps can you take now to attain
this goal in the future? After all, I don't have several billion USD I
can use to, say, fund a Mars Direct mission or build a few space
settlements.:)
I think space tourism might start to build a space infrastructure
helpful for human migration to space. What say you?
Later!
