Why Privatize the Space Industry?

Its more efficient Brings jobs to market Prevents outsourcing of jobs Opens up more possibilities

An over funded science experiment Capitalistic An unrealistic feat

Conclusion
Continue funding for private space industry Growth will continue A new era in space exploration is beginning
