     Does anyone know of a way to buy stock in a corporation which is
trying to get into space?  I'm willing to invest half my net worth in
such a venture. 
     There are a number of private companies trying to get into space.
But because of the government's wish to protect the public from
themselves, it is hard for the average person to invest in such
ventures.  Either you have to work for the company in which case it is
assumed you know what you are doing.  Or you are rich and can afford
losing your investment. 
     About the closest I can think of right now is buying stock in
ComSat or Beoing.  Is there anything closer currently being traded, or
about to be offered?
