Time for an update to former US President Bill Clinton's well-known mantra from the 1992 presidential campaign.  It is indeed about "the economy," but which one?  Broadly and historically speaking, humanity has transitioned through various economies; hunter/gatherer, agricultural, industrial, information... and now the earliest stage of a space economy as more economic activity moves further away from the surface of the Earth.  It may begin with sub-orbital tourist flights in the next few years, but don't mistake that for anything but the beginning of the emerging space economy.

And what's this got to do with Chinese food on the Moon? 

I recently returned from the International Symposium on Personal Spaceflight in Las Cruces, New Mexico... certainly one of the homes of the emerging commercial Newspace industry.  Once again it was a pleasure to hear Michael Simpson, President of the International Space University in Strasbourg, France, who gave one of the opening talks.  Michael is always eloquent and worth hearing, but he out did himself this time (not easy to do!) with a high level of energy.
