Thanks! IMHO, the government’s commission in space is covered by the Preamble, i.e. providing for the common defense. Like it or not, space is a full-fledged combat theatre. Even if we concede space, others won’t. Engagement is the only option consistant with survival.

You’re welcome.

And I understand that and why I support limited government involvement in space exploration endeavors and of course military defense.

A P.S. to my last... you'll see posts there from 'Paolo' - the guy (one of) driving Opportunity around, who answers questions and tells folks about the rovers activities.

It's an astounding website.
