I agree with that. JPL does a damned good job. Wish the rest of the government space efforts were as sterling these days. Come on private sector...

Get Congress out of the way, and get rid of the influence of some of the lobbyists. They tend to really complicate space programs and make them very expensive and more resource-intensive than they need to be.

I pretty much agree. I’d sure like to see some big incentives to get the private sector to meet more achievement targets in short order though.

As long as the private sector gets us where we need to go, I think it’s much more healthy. It means that finally we’ll be entering space on for-profit ventures.

I would dearly love to be able to spend a week in a space hotel before I go toes up.
