I agree that in the end, Bush will do what he wants and the rest of us be darned.
His campaign 4 years ago--not him personally but a representative he sent to Houston--said that the Bush admin would investigate the issue of private property rights in outer space.
This is taking forever, but his President's Commission report said that lack of private property rights in outer space would strangle nascent businesses in the cradle. Oh, yeah, strangle in the cradle. One of them is a poet.
