The Group I am personally a part of, Is Xenotechresearch.
For many years. there were only the two of us, LMAO.
We now have representatives on every continent.
Another private space group, far better funded than we, is 'Space Island Group'
they are primarily interested in Orbital Tourism & Industry & content to leave
the main belt & other colony concepts till much later.
SIG or Space Island Group, has got a great launch vehicle on the drawing board,
using improved space shuttle tech from the same contractors, larger solid fuel
boosters, improved shuttle main engines. They also have Rutan on board as well
as the designer of the Delta Clipper Vertical takeoff & landing orbital vehicle,
which is also being improved upon. http://www.spaceislandgroup.com/home.html
We hope they will permit deployment of our solar thermal hybrid drive robotic
probes to the belt, in exchange for some of our technologies. As for the actual
colonists in the next 15 years, we have not selected them yet, the field is wide
open & I am telling many who wish to live in space, to cultivate the low & high
tech skills in themselves. We intend to take colonists from every nation, as
long as they have a variety of skills to offer. That is the best answer I can
give you. Who will be the first colonists ? Perhaps YOU !!!!!!!!
