Well the private sector doesn't yet see a big benefit here due to the costs of launch. We would need to see a massive growth in number of launches in order to justify lower costs, which just isn't going to make the few groups who can organize launches money. That's one of the biggest problems with this idea. However, I think dad believed that *man* would eventually come to recognize his situation and would overcome the socioeconomic issues of getting into space. I don't quite hold the same faith in humanity that my father did, but I fervently hope that he was right.
