- vanattab 10y agoIt depends on what you mean by "from space". The sat communication industry is already making money. When will Mars/Moon/Asteroids missions produce an ROI? Your guess is as good as mine.
- nkoren 10y agoI suppose it will be when weather satellites can tell us when a hurricane is inbound, and when navigation satellites can tell us our location at any time, and when communications satellites can provide us with near-instantaneous bandwidth from anywhere in the world, and when imaging satellites provide us with mapping services that improve everything from agriculture to urban planning to national defence. so... somewhere between 20-40 years ago, I'd reckon?
