MirCorp: The Birth of Private Space
-Shot of the Mir Space Station from Space Shuttle Discovery-
In no other time in our history have we had as many dedicated space companies and organizations as we do now. We believe now, more than ever, that space travel can be affordable for everyone. The same excitement the world had for the Apollo missions of the 60's, will be revisited once again very soon by new space companies.
Just in the past decade we have seen the arrival of many great companies leading the new space charge. There are some which I have already dedicated some writing time to, such as SpaceX, Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace, and Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites/Virgin Galactic. So many young, and promising companies, all founded within the past decade.
Is it a mere coincidence that so many private space companies have been emerging only within the past decade? No.
