I've worked for two of the 'big contractors' in the last six years, so considering they write my paychecks, I like them.
As for private space exploration, I think it'd good if it'd bring us new/useful technology, but I don't think the tax payers should pay for it. Someone said in this thread that it'd just be a way for management of these companies to grow rich, which is, unfortunately, most likely the case.
This news of liquid on Titan is interesting. I wonder if that makes them think it's more likey to hold, or have held, life. I've always marveled at scientists assumption that a space body had to have similarities to earth to contain life. Maybe life elsewhere doesn't
need oxygen or water... grow an imagination, people... but I digress.
I definitely think it's worthwhile to build sustainable structures for habitation/research on the moon. Hell, I'd be first in line if I could afford it.
