Could disclosure be coming because of the looming possibility of commercial space flights?

DId you know that you can already buy space out there, for yourself, actual land itself, no not joking.

How does one buy space, the only way one could occupy that territory is with some pretty marvelous free floating inventions.

In addition to private corporations doing space flights, we could also have private corps. making the ufos themselves. With the modern technologies of UAVs and such, Virgin, or someone like them , could have a sort of 'Safari Ride' with remote controlled UFOs and such. The whole Chadsquito/Caret hoax points to something like this as well. The 'feeling' of a viral ad campaign that goes nowhere.

I wonder if it did come out that Virgin made space safari rides with 'hippos' and 'alligators' so to speak, would anyone ever believe in 'Alien's anymore, or would it all get blamed on 'safari rides'.

Nice Premise!

Great reply! Tourist are going to need things to see when they look out of the window of their room at the "Lunar Hilton" or "Orbiter Hilton".

Good point!

It´s very likely to be that one of the main reasons, since they could play this seek and hide game forever...

Once you start having rich and influential people in space seeing those odd things that happen there they couldn´t keep the secret anymore.

If it was the average joe They could keep telling about weather balloons and gas clouds... even in space!

Yeah I remember a while back a applied to the Lunar agency for 1 acre of the moon. But there were around 5 other sites all claiming that they had 'rights' to sell land on the moon. All ranging from about 100 - 500 dollars an acre.

(I never received a response, im gonna check it out)

Peace

I like the way you think, very plausible.

There will be no "disclosure", the government are just using your fascinations and feeding you snippets to keep you under control, they know how you react, they have models on what the masses will do and they use these to play you, to what end who knows.

Do you people realize that spaceship one would only need a different kind of fuel, something more efficient, much more efficient that what we have today in order to even reach the moon?

They just stay in suborbital level because they cannot carry more fuel for the booster of spaceship one.
The ship can practicaly travel to the end of the solar system if they could provide it with a good power/fuel source, something which does not exist yet. I predict that in less than fifty years we will have comecial flights to the edges of our solar system. It is possible that the privatization factor and research fuelled by recent endeavors will outrun NASA and many other agencies across the globe. They will get ridiculed, along with the goverments too!

I expect some hidden obstacles in the way of comercial space flights to begin as soon as goverments will perceive them as threats.
Right now actual space exposure for space tourist flights is very limited, the craft only does some 5 minutes of space time and then drops back to the atmosphere from the drag of the gravity. Thats not enough time to stay there and actually witness anything unussual unless the unussual is expecting you. But as time progresses and comercial flights expand through the solar system, which IMO will not be long, only 50 years something has to happen sooner or later. Then the powers that bge are either planning before that for their own version of disclosure or they have plans to take over the space privatization by some means.

I don't think so, personally. Disclosure already for that? Where are we going in space anytime soon, as consumers? We are probably 20 years away from the most *basic* of colonies on say, Mars. And by that, I mean three, 2-story living structures, and a couple of other small portable buildings, only inhabitated by engineers and researchers, certainly not Joe Public. As far as having a destination in space flight, I'd think that is 50 years or more off. Probably a lot more. So it's a tad early for disclosure based on that.

Imo, disclosure will come from one of three ways:

1. Other countries (and we are seeing this already), beginning to disclose, and the U.S. is forced to follow suit, or be the odd man out. They don't want to be the last to admit they've been lying to their public.

2. They realize there are more sightings, or have seen a pattern of sigthings, that make them realize that we are going to find out quite definitively in the near future. They would not want this. They would want a measure of control over this knowledge. So they would disclose this ahead of time, even if gradually. The proverbial "landing on the whitehouse lawn" event may be something they can somewhat predict, and they want folks aware ahead of time.

3. The advent of a LOT more media (and ways to record via the public), may be the driving force to decide to make it a more "acceptable possibility." The more we are able to record and produce for the public, the more likely the government is to release what they have, so they won't be called out for holding out. Perhaps they have our better interests at heart, but I'm not sure of this.

There are a few other less likely but possible reasons I've thought of, but those are the most likely, imo. The premise of commercial space flight is a cool idea, but I think too far off to be seeing disclosure at this point, but kudos for orginal thinking OP.

I am with Spacebot ! This so called Private Space flight is as he states. I'm thinking that it is a fake "space flight" anyway, and you have to put up at least 20 million American dollars, and have a Russian friend to go to 300 miles high & hang out on the ISS in the "Russian" module:... and I agree with Frith, that there will be an "accident" and the investigation of the accident will stall these "cheap and dirty" flights, by "Virgin" or who ever it is really behind them! As we sadly all know, even a "billion" dollar Space shuttle mission gets blown up, like the Challenger and Columbia did. It's inevitable, as the NASA investigations concluded. 'stuff happens!..Thats how it will go down if they ever get it up! If I was -what's his name,- I would not send my 'folks' up on the first go, like he has said he will!..would you? I'm thinking no way! Send Chris Angel, cuz he could at least escape from it!
