Space elevator? How many Mohammedan-hijacked planes would it take to bring that down? And I have no doubt they'd try.
How about a course with a 2000 meter par 3.
Right, but we're not going anywhere burning chemicals. Right now there's no (acceptably) safe means of getting nuclear materials into space.
That will come. For now we use the dirt and/or ice to make fuel.
Figures. I just brought the DVD yesterday and now it will probably be on 2-3 times a day for the next month.
Won't happen without private property rights.
Elaborate please.

The US Senate Committee on Energy and natural Resources is aware that: "Without defined legal status, few if any companies would be willing to invest the significant money required to extract and utilize space resources."
Also, the President's Commission on Moon, Mars and Beyond reached the same conclusion.
Not only is the 1967 Treaty in the way, but there is no mechanism to claim space resources. Since the two driving factors of modern business are linked: credit and proprietary processes, deeds, etc., the credit is not forthcoming without deeds. Proprietary processes are available, but the paper is not. No credit, no space development.
I don't golf, but I support the private effort.
