Yeah. Spaceship One didn't actually go into space and it can't even carry cargo or anything really. And it is hella spensive.

It really is quite a waste and a terrible example.

Therefore, there is no evidence.

Actually, I like how he didn't read the thread.

If he had, he would've noted that there is next to no information on the movie as of now and it is still up-in-the-air authorative. It's cute.

Well, the evidence suggests otherwise; explain ventures like Branson's company and his challenge to have the first orbital launch by 2010 and also Virgin Galactica. Also explain how the private sector did all those aviation challenges so well and help made advances.


The infrastructure's already been laid down... NASA and the USSR's equivalent have been researching and developing for 30 years. Branson isn't starting from zero.

And aviation advances? Well, in the early days, mostly during the World Wars with heavy influence from government money!
as you know, launching into space is quite different from smuggling drugs.

There were innovations in World War II, but how much from the private sector as compared to the government sector is debatable. In the decade leading up to World War II, in many countries the government started having more control over the production of aircraft, though I think in the U.S. that didn't happen until the country entered the war.



On point 1: WTF!?

On point 2: Aviation wasn't private until...Hell, it's still not god damned private except for private jets like the Gulf Stream V and stuff. Pretty much every civilian aircraft is built on government contracts because airlines are generally part owned by the governments who have to police their skies. Simple fact is that the private industry doesn't always equal innovation. Plus, these are very different issues. The airplane had a practical civilian mode as well being relatively inexpensive in the grand scheme of travel. Rocketry and space travel on the other hand has only had appropriate infrastructure since around...I don't know...The day Gagarin got into space they started making it. And giving that there is still no safe, cost-effective method of getting into space, there won't be any real infrastructure. Space travel will, for the coming decades, either be for research or military applications. The costs are too expensive for the companies to be able to handle sales to civilians (100'000 dollars a seat on something that costs about 250'000-400'000 to launch...with no guarantee of safety). Private companies will hop on in about 50 years, that is, if space turns out to be a completely viable industry at all.

Because I was making a point because I don't know enough about WW1 to make an accurate statement and because I wanted to point out that you made an inane comparison.

No, it is still an inane comparison.

Originally it was government controlled ventures that did it and hobbyists. Not companies. In and around 1917 the US military scooped up pretty much all rights to that in America.

P.S: It is widely acknowledged outside of USA that it was actually a Brazilian that made the first flight, not the Wright brothers.

Again, no it doens't work that way. beneficii, the more is less philosophy doesn't work on something like space travel. More means more expensive. You can't mass produce these things like military technology. At least not for the next couple of decades. Additionally, the economy can't support something like this. It DEVOURS money like no tomorrow and which sort of company will have the venture capital to start with something that costs trillions of dollars in R&D? Yeah...

Because the free-market would need to free up and create trillions of dollars of new wealth in order to make those things go up and research how to do it. There is no way to easily mass-produce the technology, and there is no way to make the heavy and medium lifters effectively. The technology is also a NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.

Pull your head out of the propoganda and understand that NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PRIVATIZED. The free-market can do somethings, and there are somethings it can't do. One of the things it can't do is build something that will cost trillions to bring down the cost by a miniscule degree.

The game should've been AO already! For chrissake. There is something TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THOSE GAMES!

YOU KILL PROSTITUTES FOR GODSAKE. GOD DAMMIT.

This just shows the problem with the ESRB rating system. It is stupid and doesn't work. They need to rethink it. They need to have it so that AO doesn't mean porno game.
They need to make a seperate sort of rating...An XXX rating if you will!

Until the ESRB can clean up ship...and make their rating system even a bit more...you know...less asinine...I'd rather some more stringent controls on games.

Kids are going to play Rapemaster 64000, watch Disembowling Hindu Goddess 8, listen to I Only Shoot Cops While on Coke, read Mein Kampf (German poop porn edition) and smoke cigarettes. At least putting some sort of system that prevents them from getting their hands on it readily will slow it all down.

Exactly, but you see...The ESRB has the collective intelligence as this cup on my desk with mould in the bottom of it.

The American system sucks and it is too easy for the kids to get games. The parents are all retards. I swear. RETARDS. They should be forced to read a god damned pamphlet on the game before buying it for kids. Screw social libertarians saying that guns in the hands of kids is the single most wholesome form of society and love. Screw them. People who lack maturity and are impressionable (namely kids and 95% of the people at this board) should not be given access to ridiculously violent games. Plain and simple.

But then again, American politicians aren't much smarter than the retards that buy these games. So yeah. You guys are boned. Get ready for a shit load of law suits over something that could've been rectified by something called awareness
