I am not arguing against the proposal, but rather the notion that the free market is just magically going to make a moon base happen.

I would like to see some seed money go out for launcher development, but it would probably end up doing more harm than good with the strings that would inevitably be attached.

I believe the enabling technology for private development will be a launcher with airliner like operations.

The enabling technology for exploring the solar system will be use of native resources.
