In the upcoming Commercial Space Age, how important will public support be? If private mavericks are making money on space tourism, why worry much about congresspeople and public support? Just worry about the customers, baby, no pork barrel needed. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Public support will remain important to Nasa. Although you are right, Private industry will not need public support, just customer support.

I agree, A privet space industry need not to worry about what <i>everyone</i> thinks, but what every <i>customer</i> thinks.
