James Cameron has been in the news a lot lately. After visiting one of the deepest points in the ocean, he now wants to explore space. A private company named Planetary Resources is being backed by him to "explore space and find natural resources" Now, the company isn't Cameron's, but is backed by him along with Google's Larry Page and Eric Schmidt. Not much is known about the company as of yet, but it sure does hold promise.
As for what I think of this, I have already mentioned that in my opinion private companies are the future of space exploration. First it was SpaceX and now Planetary Resources. While I am glad that so many rich people around the world show interest in space, it still saddens me to know that NASA isn't getting all the funding it needs. We as a nation need to be able to explore space, not just private companies. Other than that, I'll be keeping an eye on Planetary Resources and anything else that James Cameron is up to.
