The Right Stuff: Techies Go Trekky

from the geeeeeeeeeeks-in-spaaaaaaaaace dept

theodp writes "Today's captains of high tech grew up viewing space as the final frontier, only to see NASA grow meek once the Cold War fizzled. Now older and richer, Wired reports the geeks are about to conquer outer space. And the addition of an ex-Amazon lawyer to the Bezos-led effort leaves little doubt that space travel will be patented." To be honest, this article reads almost identical to the one we posted a month and a half ago about geeks in space (minus the stuff about Bezos patenting his space exploration plans).

    I have an image of stale cheetos and girlie mags flying around the cockpit....

    At what point will space have a highly unbalanced gender ratio, Hindu Temple Docking Centers, hairy millionaires who tell astronauts over age 40 to go home because they're too old?
