A few words from Joan C. Horvath

"Now, nursing a cup of coffee at the Voyager Cafe while working over annual 
expenditures, rates of return, breakeven points and price per launch for 
one of my consulting projects, I realize that one thing is apparent: real-
world access to space has finally come within the grasp of entrepreneurial 
dreamers and venture capitalists rather than being only the domain of 
national governments."

2004, pp.92-97
