The author comments on the New Space business or the emergent private spaceflight industry. He discusses Orbital ATK chief executive officer (CEO) David Thompson's concerns about the New space cycle and mentions the cycle of spaceflight delusions which started from the 1970s to the space shuttle Challenger tragedy in 1986 and the obsessions with low-Earth-orbit satellite systems in 1995-2000.
