Investors/media/most people are not leaders. Facebook and the social space is interesting right now because it is already a proven business model, so everyone is trying to take their last piece of the pie before it becomes an established industry.

Nobody has really showed the promise of making millions flying to space yet. When they do, money and media attention will start to flow in that direction and everyone will start fighting for their share of that market pie.

Nobody cares about the idea, just how much money it is going to make them. Right now, it is unknown if you will ever make money going to space. It wasn't that long ago that some brave people were making social networking websites that nobody cared about or wanted to invest in.



Sad but true.
