Why not wait until people are out there already and sell shovels
1 comments

1. It may take many years before significant number of people are out there.

2. What kind of equipment or services would these "shovels" be? Is there any kind of equipment used in space that could be produced by a bootstrapped company that doesn't have billions of dollars in funding? Why would a new company in this business succeed when competing against established companies that already have experience producing such equipment?
