The reading and lecture both discuss about privatized spaceflight industry. While the article states that the space tourism industry created by private companies is beneficial to both scientific developments and the citizens’ life, the lecturer refutes this, stating such an industry does not bring about benefits as mentioned in the article.
First of all, the passage claims that such travels organized by private commercial companies will make space exploration more affordable. It argues that a privatized spaceflight industry will bring about competition, which in turn, will lower the costs of space travel. The lecturer rebuts this argument by claiming such privatization will, in fact, increase the cost. He puts forth the idea that companies will need a a great deal of money to establish controlling systems and test the safety of the journey they offer. Expenses of such activities are enormous, so the costs do not actually decrease.
Second, the author states that the private companies will assist the developments of the spaceflight industry. These companies will help the industry expand and employ more scientists, therefore more discoveries will be made. The lecturer opposes this idea by arguing that a privatized spaceflight industry will only delay the scientific advances. He points out that scientists will start working for these companies due to the high salaries they offer instead of scientific values and this will not accelerate the progress of the aerospace industry.
Finally, the article claims that taxpayers will not have to pay much since customers of the private industries will be the ones dealing with the costs. However, the lecturer posits that private companies with their customers will not be able cover enormous expenses of building space station and other infrastructures. He believes that construction of these building would cost billions of billions of dollars, and the taxpayers will end up paying more.
