This program is the first in our Golden Oldie series looking as space development, commercial and private space, NewSpace and more over the past decade. This archived Space Show program dates from Dec. 30, 2003 and features Tom Olson summarizing 2003 and looking forward to 2004. Here is the summary I used for this program when it first aired Dec. 30, 2003. We welcome Tom Olson, co-founder of The Colony Fund. Tom returns to The Space Show for this 1 hour 16 minute discussion to update us on progress with The Colony Fund and to take a look at 2003 and 2004 from the commercial space perspective. Tom discussed the importance of the X-Prize, RLV and the suborbital industry, the regulatory issues which he believes will see great improvement for 2004. We talked about the aftermath of the Columbia accident and what any possible NASA reorganization might be like and what it means for space commerce and the private sector. Tom went out on the edge making several predictions for 2004, including a prediction about the current NASA Administrator! Mr. Olson also talked about returning to the Moon, going on to Mars, a new vision for space that is rumored to being prepared by President Bush and what such a potential vision will do for private enterprise. In this show, Tom Olson provided a superb conclusion to 2003 for The Space Show. Please post comments/questions about this 2003 Golden Oldie year in review program. You can email Tom through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.
