This could start to pave the way for Commercial companies sending people to the moon.
"And, when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night, and pay no worship to the garish sun."--William Shakespeare
Yeah, I noticed that one too. Well, I guess it will have to happen, sooner or later. I saw one article on the BBC News website which claimed it would be like the "Wild West".
Let's book tickets before they're sold out! Anyone for Mars? Nah, let's hit Saturn!
