I like space

I think that there are many good thingsabout have the space organizations be run privately. The good things include more resources and more money and people for the job. A lot of rich business people are interested in this private space organization that they formally were not a part of due to the organization being government run. Because of the switch from government to private, the space organization has had an increase in the number of people currently contributing to the cause. This influx in people is good because it means that with these new people, new money has begun to spill into the organization. These new private organizations have allowed people that are not working for the government who are interested in space to start getting involved. Before, when the space program was limited to the government, only government associated highly qualified officials could even think about going into space. 
Today, this privatization has allowed common people who do not work for the government to start finding ways into space. Another exponential key factor that this new privatization has brought is new ideas about Mars. The moon has begun to bore these scientists. It is kind of a “been there, done that” kind of thing. People want something new, something exciting. Because of this, Mars has begun to become quite popular. It is in fact, one of the main projects that these private organizations have begun to work with.
One major issue of having this space program change from government to private and is the issue of two things. The first one being the problem that all this money and time is going to end up being used for weapons that will eventually get discovered by other nations that have the potential of threatening our own. The second one being that fact that all this money and effort should be going to people in need. What great is going into space really going to do for us in the long run? Some people might argue that this money should be going to people who could really use the money, people in need. These problems are the main issues of the space program becoming a private organization. Hopefully this change will bring new discoveries that are for the good of the people.
