Lesson 9 focused on launch system economics, markets, demand, and the definition of commercial versus government launchers.

Dr. Henry Hertzfeld returned to The Space Show to discuss the current state of our national and global economy and its probable impact on space development and programs. We examined the economic impact on companies that need to raise money, those which do not have clearly defined markets, and on those companies that are self-funded.

Dr. Henry Hertzfeld and Dr. Pierre-Alain Schieb were the guests for this special Space Show program to discuss the Space 2030 reports talked about frequently on the program. The Space 2030 reports were issued by the Organization For Economic Co-Operation And Development (OECD) and our two guests were on the team that studied and issued these reports. As Dr. Schieb explained early in the program, the main goals of OECD were to help create a path for needed space infrastructure development and to facilitate a friendly business environment for space development.

Dr. Henry Hertzfeld returned to The Space Show for this special program. Last on the show April 9, 2003, we opened up discussing the changes in the space world since his earlier guest appearance on the program. We talked about changes resulting from the Columbia accident, the VSE, SS1 and more. In addition, we discussed his 2005 paper, "Launch Vehicles: An Economic Perspective." You can find this paper and many others of his as well as others from the Space Policy Dept. at GWU by visiting the website, http://www.gwu.edu/~spi/.
