The Moon Express is being readied for transportation to the moon, for commercial purposes and for 'entrepreneurial exploration'. This sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but it's not really - putting a man on the moon was not just for feeling good (though that sure felt great), it was the first step in checking out the possibilities, including the commercial ones.. The Chinese government is now doing what NASA used to do - pouring oodles of money to fund moon shots and space stations. But in the US, it is the private sector, successful entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos of Amazon, who have taken the challenge to keep exploring the last known frontier.
This is a cool - and aspirational - story for any entrepreneur: big dreams and tough challenges which could deliver a huge payoff not only in business terms but also in the impact for all humanity. It is exciting and energizing to read about it, especially as we wind down this year and start planning for the next one. It is the kind of story that makes you think 'if they can do that, maybe I can do this', the 'this' being your own venture. Check out the article here - it's not just thinking outside the box, it's thinking outside the planet!
