The Peak Oil Debunked blog is intelligently written, and is worth perusal.

Many in the peak oil community naturally still reject any notion of space providing for a bright future. After all, Apollo was over 30 years ago and we still don’t have moon bases, lately we have barely managed the maintain manned space flight, we don’t have any solar powered satellites meeting our energy needs, and we don’t see massive lobbying and investment into the space business, right? So how can this space stuff be anything but a dream?

At least this seems to be the line of thinking for many people, and certainly an aspect of the doomer mentality regarding space. But if space is going to be an economic boom, then perhaps it would be prudent to take a look at what economists and entrepreneurs think about the future of the space business. These are the people that will make it happen after all.
