AT&T and other telecoms make billions from space. Farmers make and don't lose billions with space technology. DishTV does quite a nice business. As does Hughs network with sat internet service.

A commercial comsat costs billions to put into orbit. You think companies do that for funsies? They do it for ROI.

Some do fail, but not as often as when we first started.

Has our collectivist investment in space been worth the cost?

That is an extremely complex question, one which I am not qualified to answer right now.

What is the proposition on the table?
