Think we'll see the beginning of an OPEC space program? They're rich enough.

More likely OPEC than NASA. NASA, or should I say most of the US population doen't seem to care. There are plenty of raw materials waiting up in space for the taking.

It would be a great investment, if the right investors would realize the potential.
