It may sound as a big scam or a big joke, but there are money to pick up in an industry that is growing as new technology is appearing and allowing more and more normal people to gain profit.

Space tourism could become the killer app that finally makes human spaceflight self-sustaining. Until Dennis Tito's flight in 2001, even most space advocates considered tourist excursions to orbit to be many decades in the future. But there has been a big change of attitude. Paying customers have continued to go to the ISS (after a break due to the Columbia accident) and most observers believe that several companies will start to offer suborbital space rides for paying customers in the 2008-2009 timeframe.

Space is probably going to be the biggest industry of all times, bigger than we can even imagine at present. Everything from mining space, tourism, exploration rides, zero-gravity entertainment and things we cant even predict will take impact our daily life.

Is the time right now for private investors to put money into something only governments are doing? Give your thoughts about investing in the space industry.
