Right when the
Answer seems
Absurd, pay

"In order to get up off the ground, you have to use the ground." Famous old saying and totally useless here. The idea that was floating around was to get off the ground by using the sky; more accurately, using space.
The idea was, no matter how far-fetched it may seem, to begin to offer joy-rides in space (orbital jaunts, hotel accommodations, trips to the Moon) as a way to fund the development of a true space-culture that would lift the burden of industry off the Earth and bring the benefits of space travel to all. Just imagine one-hour-delivery of a package to any spot on the globe!
No pie in the sky; no government program; just destiny's dream built by visionary entrepreneurs.
