Design and Concepts!
What makes engineering and development into new inventions is to come up with something completely different from what we see and understand now?
This is the product of genius and their are a few alive today, but it has to be the right financial backing that will help to take the chances that are needed in research!
When we look at various ideas that are coming to the fore, based on the knowledge that we now have some may be impossible to achieve that is why vision is called for to make these things happen!
Humanity can rush into many things for political reasons and for their own egoism or showmanship, but we do not want to make the mistakes of the past in chancing it and hoping all will go well?

Russia Aborts!
Space remains a dangerous Business?
Just like the Space shuttle, we can become over confident and routine about any form of travel and then disaster strikes with the loss of lives! Today that was averted when the Russian Soyuz aborted and landed safety, but history of space shows us the many disasters and losses over the years since 1957!?
Space is still in its infancy and those designers and engineers may have access to newer kit, computers and materials but the old problems of human mistakes remain?
We see the genius of Elon Musk being wasted on his spiff of marijuana, what if something in his flawed design not seen lead to a similar incident with space tourism one knows not many of these fantasy spaceships have lifeboats?
We are some 500 years away from anything like even the first science fiction Star trek ship, if one is ever built? Outer space flight is revealing obstacles and debris in the outer reaches! We still are not clear on the effects of radiation in stellar space, we know that in our own space around the gravitational field of our sun it could lead to sterilisation!

Elon Musk!
In trouble over a failed Launch?
Space is still a tricky business we may be able to launch rockets weekly up the International Space Station as well military spying, but from time to time there will be failures since humans are not perfect and make mistakes?
Musk has promised much in relation to taking men back to the Moon after forty years and reaching to Mars, with his new re-usable rockets? But this is still new and untested systems that need to be fine-lined, even the Space Shuttle still had teething problems that NASA failed to address at the cost of precious scientific lives for the prestige!
We are only sixty-one years into the Space race exploration, man has reached Pluto and now beyond! Gone to the Moon and built several Space stations culminating in the ISS! Soviet Russia/Russia and the United States were the first to dominate this race from 1957!
But now other nations have now joined this Space club, China, Japan, Europe, India, Israel and more are coming along such as Brazil, Nigeria and Iran!

Costa Concordia.
In the light of the Costa Concordia.
What should be the future of the cruise liner industry?
It is ironic that 101 years ago, after the sinking of the Titanic and its fatal collision with an iceberg in the N-Atlantic Ocean with the loss of 1800 lives.
The problems then were that the vessel did not have enough life boats. This time possibly 30-40 people have died, because of a mistake?
Why has no one learned from the past, ship builders and shipping lines seem to be greedy and believe their ships will never come to serious harm.
What a fallacy for any man made object.
