it appears that the door has been opened, as we wait, colonel hatfield, i do have a question for you. you were talking about the message that these astronauts will have for the world and the importance of what they share in their experience. you know, i know there are some folks watching this, who are cynical about private space travel, who suggest that perhaps these billionaires, jeff bezos, elon musk, should spend that money helping people here on earth. from your perspective, what do you say to folks who hold those sfrus? elon musk has spend billions for people on earth by launching weather satellites, earth-sensing satellites, all the way to measure the health of the world, measure the size of the greenland ice cap or the ant
here on earth, we ve got mountains and mountains of problems. why should people care about this mission? why should they be supportive of it? so i think that there s there are a couple of things going on, stephanie. so one is the expectation that space doesn t do anything. now, this is a tourism kind of thing and joy ride in one sense, but on the other hand, it is building a new or evolving a new system where people have access to space or organizations have access to space outside of governments. but i need to deal with that whole issue about problems here on earth. one of the things that we have missed and frequently don t emphasize is how much space exploration actually impacts life on earth. we take for granted weather satellites. we take for granted global positioning systems, which are on our cell phones, to tell us what to do.
