Hopefully one of these firms is correct... I suspect these companies are mostly looking to make money from their investors and not for their investors. But hey, that's how our economy works at this point; mostly speculation, less so results.

I hope so too. I just want to see some space faring progress in my lifetime. I missed the boat and am too dumb to contribute, but I can hope greed can bridge the gap where basic human progress fails to meet expansionist ideals. If it has to begin on the backs of investor money, at least it gets the ball rolling.
