Re: Business is the only decent part of modern civilization
The only point in going off-Earth is to enable additional goods, services, energy, materials, and profit.
While I disagree that it is the only reason to get off the planet (colonization, tourism and basic scientific research all come to mind as good reasons to escape the chains of our planet's surface), having a business reason to get into space will certainly help drive and inform efforts to do so.
