Yes there are other threads but they are all older and cluttered. And they lack the live embed in the OP.

I hope you're not serious..

Although it's possible that Red bull would spend the money to have wifi coming from space, do you really think Go pro wouldn't have given them a hero 3 prototype well prior to the release date for the public, never mind five days?

Like almost everything else, space exploration would probably be more cost effective and productive if the government wasn't involved.

private space exploration lacks regulation. also there is no company in the world with anywhere close to the same financial backing as the US government

more like spaceX


What virgin is doing is cool, but it's a novelty. They aren't really going into space yet, and apart from charging a ton of money for a short ride, it isn't really useful in any sense.

SpaceX on the other hand is beginning to make ISS resupply runs routine, and if given enough money, could probably make a manned rocket in just a few years. They need to work with NASA as a separate entity though. NASA knows what manned space flight is like and what it requires, so if they helped, it would go a lot faster than making spaceX learn.
