What keeps you hopeful for space flight, /sfg/?

For me it's the rise of space agencies and space companies who aren't part of the "old guard". After Apollo, space flight has been held back pretty much because there was only one major group within space flight who had the capability of doing more, but for various reasons couldn't. Now with agencies from China and India, and companies like SpaceX and (hopefully) Blue Origin, it doesn't matter if the "old guard" continues to flounder because there are others who are capable of moving on. It's also not just that there is an alternative agency, but there are alternative agencies with diverse skill sets and goals. Meaning that at least one can find a way to move on no matter what.

You ever wonder what's up there? edition.
