If you want to go to space, call the Russians, Chinese or the Indians. Anyone but the US government as it is out of that business. Or, instead, call one of the three Rocket Men who can actually deliver. And Little Rocket Man, North Korea’s Kim Jung Un, is not one of them.
Three multi-multi-billionaires, two Americans and one Brit, are the current space pioneers. Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and worth well over $100 billion started his Blue Origin space company in 2000. Richard Branson, knighted by the Queen in 2000 for entrepreneurship, started his space company, Virgin Galactica, an extension of his Virgin Records, Airlines and Rail four years later. And Elon Musk, founder and owner of Tesla cars, started Space-X also in 2004.
