Im not sure the exact book or author, but i do remember the idea....
Space exploration is facing reduced funding and intrest recently. I cant remember if it was Ben Bova or AC Clark who wrote a novel about the privatization of the space industry: I.E. there is no NASA controlled by the government; instead all of the multimillionaires fund their own deal, or get together and move into space together.
Ideas? I think that eventually science would follow the pursuit of happiness and leisure out into the great beyond, but i do admit that theres a great potential for science to become under-funded and forgotten.
This statement is false.
