Time for my obligatory anti-space post. Shut down NASA and let the DOD do the work for military applications in space. Tax-payer funded manned space flight for non-military uses is a waste of money. With the Euros and Russkies involved in the Int’l Space Station, how many “experiments” are being devoted to proving man-made global warming?
For those wanting to return to the Moon, I say that if there was a practical reason for going back - we would have already done so.
Let Richard Branson sink his money into commercial manned space flight.
I agree.
We’ve wasted far too much national treasure on manned spaceflight boondoggles.
