Black Sky - Race for Space - Part 1

SpaceShipOne was developed by Scaled Composites, Burt Rutan's aviation company, in their Tier One program, without government funding. On June 21, 2004, it made the first privately funded human spaceflight, and on October 4, it won the $10-million Ansari X PRIZE, by reaching 100 kilometers in altitude twice in a two-week period with the equivalent of three people on board, with no more than ten percent of the non-fuel weight of the spacecraft replaced between flights. Development costs were estimated to be $25-million, funded completely by Paul Allen.

Imagine if the money in the Iraq war had been put into things like this instead.

But what do we do? We squabble over resources when there is plenty to go around, and thanks to technology & inventors - most likely always will be, if we just stop trying to steal it all for ourselves. Fucking insane. The bible got it completely wrong. Theres just two deadly sins. Gluttony and greed.

How much did go into the Iraq war so far? Is it a trillion yet? This cost 25$ million? So.. to give some perspective.

Each step is 3 more 0:oes. Million. Billion. Trillion. 1 1 000 1 000 000
You do the math on how many projects like this we could have funded with that money...

WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE SPENDING MONEY ON? I'd go work at that company for cost-of-living wages, if I had anything to add except asshole wit and good looks :P

edit: I just imagined how it would feel like watching the earth from orbit and I got butterflies in my stomach. We need more people inventing shit.

Awesome video btw :) 5/5
