This scheduling of this is no accident. I watched the head of NASA today extolling Obama's plan to privatize space exploration.
” In 2006, NASA awarded the company a Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) contract to design and demonstrate a launch system to resupply cargo to the International Space Station (ISS)"
Lurkina.n.Learnin: I’m so glad Obama had the foresight to award this contract in 2006.
See my post #85. Musk is a staunch Obama supporter. He will get government contracts and then funnel money back into Obama’s campaign coffers. This is just more crony capitalism. It is destroying this country. Government already controls 40% of our economy. This is really not privitization of space any more than the defense industry is private.
