With SpaceX and Virgin Galactic both significantly expanding their space programs this year, commercial space travel looks set to dominate the headlines for the foreseeable future. As this new space race dawns, start-up companies are readying their engines to head into the cosmos for the sake of privatisation and profit. Journalist Peter Ward investigates how such endeavours could lead not to a new golden age, but a new era of colonialism.
