Quote from bullmarket79:
Why not let business colonize space,, just write into law all profits made in space will not be taxed for X amount of years. Look at how much corps and individuals have in cash, its in the billions. Heck microsoft has 50+ billion in cash,, many others also have staggering amounts of cash, if they cant find opportunity here perhaps they need to look up.
The costs of colonizing space are insane, microsoft's 50 billion would be barely a dent into what is required.
The idea of buying land on the moon (illegitamate as it is) is to have it when in 20-30 years colonizing and traveling to space will hopefully be much cheaper (exponentially) and then the land will actually be worth something. An investment
