Hey wasnt there a advance space exploration group of the late fifty's 60's and 70's not connected with Nasa not in the public news paper who did fly to other galaxy's and back. Without the two dimentional thinking of these are the facts presented to you but three dimentional thinking this is why we have Nasa tag along and the publisize info.

going to another galaxy would take thousands of years IF we could travel the speed of light, a speed we can obviously not attain...
Therefore, to get to another galaxy, better think of it as a few billion years travel.
And I'm not even talking about the flight back...

Private spaceflight (even now) is unable to compete with national space programs like Russian, the US and now China. To date no private company has lifted a human into orbit.
Burt Raton's SpaceShip One was the first one to do a parabolic flight that reached only 3,000 mph (far short of the 17,500 required for orbit) and was only above 62 miles altitude for less than 3 minutes. The low speed of SpaceShip One and the low altitude means it doesn't require a heat shield. And a heat shield is a requirement for anything going fast enough to go into and come out of orbit.
Right now the furthest probe from Earth are Voyager 1 and 2. They are just now getting to the edge of our solar system (but their mission wasn't speed - even though they are going fast). And it's taken them 29 years to get there. The edge of our solar system only implies the "heliopause" which is the point where our sun's solar wind meets the cosmic wind.

Until we have the means of lifting the requisite shielding into space we are restricted to LEO except for brief periods.
10 minutes beyond the Van Allen belts during a class X flare is the LD50
(LD50 means the lethal dose for 50% of your subjects within 24 hours after exposure.)

in my opinion, its good! it is going to diminish the charges of exploring area because there'll be many inner maximum businesses doing it and compete with one yet another. it will cause them to and investors a great number of money on an analogous time as enhance up scientific and discovery tactics. The down ingredient is that that's going to be annoying to regulate their develop into area interior the destiny, and, in the event that they get too great and valuable (and outer area based), they're going to monopolize and push lower back on any government attempting to lease them in.

I'm all for any space exploration by any company as long as they are accountable for thier actions.

No, nothing like that is true. If it were, it would have been in ALL the public newspapers.

Flying to other GALAXIES?????
Pass that bong, man!
Oh wait, I see from your other questions that you're an opium man.
