Abstract

Claims for private spaceflight initiatives, in other words for a “cosmic entrepreneurship”, have been recorded in the scientific papers ever since the 1970s, but it was only in May 2002, with the establishment of SpaceX, that a business operating on a free competitional market truly dared to rupture the monopoly of government-funded national space agencies.
