Recently, we often see news about space exploration plans carried out by private enterprises.

It is none other than because technologies like rocket reuse have been established, making launch costs drop dramatically.

That being said, it seems the walls that must be overcome, such as ensuring safety and enormous development costs, are still very high.

Furthermore, there are even concepts like resource exploration on other planets and the construction of habitable colonies.
