In this American Meteorological Society video, Peter H. Diamandis, President of the X Prize Foundation and Zero Gravity Corporation, explains the economics of scale that make routine space travel in the not-too-distant future sound not only possible, but likely. Operational meteorology began a major growth phase as commercial aviation boomed in the 1930s in the aftermath of Lucky Lindburghs transatlantic and transformational flight. With the success of the Ansari X Prize showing the path for commercial human space travel, commercial operational forecasts of the near space environment may soon become a requirement and not just a dream.
