Gosh. This sounds like "Sputnik" all over again! And we all remember the awful things that followed *that* historical fiasco!

Well.
After Sputnik, we built a whole new infrastructure to get into space.
We don't have to build the infrastructure now.
That may be the problem.
The infrastructure itself has become a bloated bureaucracy that is now inefficient and top heavy with PCness.
We may do good by 'killing' the infrastructure and rebuilding anew.
