Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

This is GREAT news! All space enthusiasts should be watching this closely because the true future of space exploration is in the private, for-profit arena. When working and/or traveling in space becomes profitable, it will grow exponentially.
Honeymoon ON THE MOON, anyone?
Not least for another reason: once space is open to the individual, the governments will no longer own all the real estate – there will once again be that great force for freedom: an open frontier.
