Let the government offer 25% of the budget of NASA as prizes for space achievement such as private orbital capacity, private orbital habitats, private moon transport and private moon habitat.

Have NASA work to make private space ventures easier instead of harder with all risk/liability capable of being waived or limited by participants via private contract.

Get the bureaucrats out of the way instead of impeding progress, and we may get somewhere.

The bureaucrats did well in the 60s and early 70s. My biggest fear is that China and others will leap frog us, while Branson sends some tourists up to the space hotel.

I like the prize idea.

I do like the prize idea.
