Why go into space for commercial reasons?  It might have been clear from 1956 to 1969, however today many are skeptical and question the economic drivers?  So far all the satellite and robotic probes have shown no other civilization exist in this Galaxy except planet Earth.

On March 14, 2016,the ExoMars mission launched by a Russian Proton-M with a Trace Gas Orbiter & Schiaparelli Entry module, and to land on Mars in October 2016. Earlier America’s NASA agreed to supply a pair of Atlas V launches as a contribution to ExoMars.

The continuing evolution of regular and asymmetric threats...

...from both state and non-state actors, threatens the ability of MENA’s armed forces to continue projecting capabilities; this also poses a threat in the delivering of security and stability in a region severely lacking both. Traditionally MENA military capabilities are either viewed either in relation to its deficiency in capable manpower, or in regards to its ability to procure modern and advanced weaponry.

GMCStream - Flash News 3/31/22 Astronauts Never Retire - When NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria returned from his fourth flight in April 2007, he dreamed that 15 years later he would be heading back into orbit, this time to oversee a group of paying travelers to the International Space Station.

High Risk – High Rewards -SpaceX

SpaceX is viewed as one of the most valuable private companies in the world. In 2015, the Silicon Valley funded venture company SpaceX has helped drive the industry forward, especially with its $1B Series F mega-round. Why is this a “new era” in space flight? Is it because the venture capitalist and the USA taxpayers who are paying millions to achieve Elon Musk SpaceX’s space transportation goals to duplicate what the Russian have done so successfully for twenty years?

"NASA is getting ready to send astronauts to explore more of the Moon as part of the Artemis program, and the agency has selected SpaceX to continue development of the first commercial human lander that will safely carry the next two American astronauts to the lunar surface. At least one of those astronauts will make history as the first woman on the Moon.

According to NASA’s Bulletin HEOMD-001 titled” HUMAN EXPLORATION AND OPERATIONS EXPLORATION OBJECTIVES: • Set far-reaching exploration milestones. By 2025, begin crewed missions beyond the Moon, including sending humans to an asteroid. By the mid-2030s, send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth.

Tony Castilleja, Jr provides a great insight into controlling and docking the CST-100 as it approaches the International Space Station (ISS). Tony represents the entire portfolio of Space Exploration Division in Business Development where he will not only use his engineering background toward growing the business but also enable the next generation of human spaceflight through safe, innovative, and transformational systems for transportation beyond gravity. Tony Castilleja, Jr was also involved with wind tunnel testing technical support for the CST-100 model at NASA Ames where he conducted CST-100 Mass Properties Analysis in support of the Preliminary Design Review to identify spacecraft updates and achieve on-time delivery of the Mass Properties Report which exceeded NASA customer expectations.

On August 31, 2012 a long filament of solar material that had been hovering in the sun's atmosphere, the corona, erupted out into space at 4:36 p.m. EDT.

“NASA's Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft, the first U.S. mission to sample an asteroid, will travel to the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, arriving in 2018, to survey the surface, retrieve at least 60 grams (2.1 ounces) of surface material, and return it to Earth in 2023 for study.

John McLucas wrote in “Space Commerce-Frontiers in Space” that Space Commerce relates the story of private enterprise's unsteady rise to prominence as a major influence on world space policy and research. 

NASA-The National Aeronautics and Space Administration made a decision in secret to eliminate Lockheed Martin (LM) from the $14 billion contract for the NASA space project. This is the third major multibillion dollar contract that LM has lost in the last three months and is a major blow to its investment in robotic vehicles, reusable space tugs and in-orbit refueling capabilities for deep space manned and unmanned missions.

NASA announced that “Expedition 43 Soyuz Commander Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineer Mikhail Kornienko of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and NASA Flight Engineer Scott Kelly launched on the Russian Soyuz TMA-16M spacecraft on March 28, Kazakh time from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to begin a six-hour journey to the International Space Station. For Kelly and Kornienko, the launch began a one-year mission on the station to conduct extensive research on the effect of long duration space travel on the human body.”  

Richard Kusiolek, GMCstream, CEO and Managing Editor welcomes in Kiev, the Deputy General of the State Space Agency of Ukraine (SSAU). SSAU has cooperative agreements with European Space Agency (ESA), China Space Agency, Indian Space Agency(ISRO), Israel Space Agency, and North America Space Agency (NASA)’s ISS works with SSAU.

Until 2014 Launches were conducted at Kazakhstan's Baikonur and Russia's Plesetsk Cosmodromes. Since the Crimean crisis, launches are conducted on Sea Launch's floating platform. NSAU has ground control and tracking facilities in Kiev with the other facilities in Yevpatoria, Crimea, and the control-measuring complexes in Yevpatoria were abandoned, while they are operating the control center in Dunaivtsi (Khmelnytskyi Oblast).

Central Executive Power

The Executive Branch of the US Government has made Computing Power as a major focus to control the High Technology Life Cycle and to further extend its Big Data initiatives globally. The Executive Order, which is not binding or funded by the US Congress, but sets an agenda for Silicon Valley firms to be mindful that the US Federal government is the “engine for technology innovation and growth.”-certainly an “overreach approach” to the American free enterprise system of High Technology growth based on innovation and private investment start-up models.

The vast territory of space is similar to the vast free lands west of the Mississippi River, which was the drainage river of the North American Continent.  The drive to expand the knowledge and the wealth of the United States was called “Manifest Destiny.” It met conquering the unknown beyond west of the Mississippi.
