why can't private industry do it cheaper, faster and better? Space development is too big for anyone acting alone. It must be a group effort. If private industry, if there is such a thing anymore, were able to develop space or just go to Mars, it would have done so by now.
$15 billion a year for 30 years? Where is our moon base? Where is our Mars base? Heads should roll.

if you read the projections of the 60's, the moon base would become operational by 1975, the space station a few years earlier. politics and other things got in the way.
