Sorry if I've offended or upset anyone at spacesettlers.

I believe this group is on the right path insofar as it supports the
establishment of space settlements, but my opinions are my own and
they do not necessarily reflect that of spacesettlers, its members,
the moderators, or anyone else.

I will be working on my site a bit more. Among other things, I want
to make sure I have a link going to this group!

Love you all,
George

Then I would hope that as prices continue to drop, we would see a
third wave of the less wealthy; those who may be leaving Earth
because they don't feel they can live as freely there as in
communities which they will make for themselves in space."

The wealthy are not going without their maids and butlers. Like
17th and 18th century colonial America, we may see indentured
servants making up a substantial portion of the second wave.

Then, too, the wealthy are going to expect some first class
restaurants and boutiques. Not to mention jewelers, and so on.
The support base for the wealthy can be quite substantial, and may
form the foundation of a middle class.
