I have mixed feelings about the amateur space exp movement. Too much re-inventing the wheel. The real way forward (progress) is to build an electric rail-gun in space.

Railguns are so 2000s. Get me to the space elevator!

Very nice... Its funny how the feeling of vertigo from the speed and heights is suddenly replaced by the fear of loosing contact with earth and being "sucked" into that dark void. You almost welcome the fact that gravity pulls you again (well, and that you have a parachute)
