private persons and companies or governmental institutions? Although the modern day space initiative is being mostly spearheaded by private persons and industries, in my opinion, government funded space programs should be leading the initiative. This would help reduce problems related to safety, violation of space laws, and offer hope to the American people not seen since the end of world war II and the Cold War era space race. . Above all in this paragraph I would like to bring to light the…
